Customer Reviews of Source Naturals 5-HTP, 100mg, 120 Capsules
Customer Review: I was sceptical at first
Summary: 4 Stars
I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism my doctor over medicated me and made me Hyperthyroid, that means I am running very fast and nervous all the time, I get plapitations all day long it is so uncomfortable. I tried everything. I tried this today and I suddenly realized this afternoon I had not had palpitaions all day and it is evening and I am feeling fine. I am relaxed and just now getting a little tired which is normal. It appears not to work for everyone, but it seems to be doing ok by me.
I too agree with many of you that Source Naturals is one of the finest companies out there I take their MSM..
Customer Review: Might As Well Be a Placebo
Summary: 1 Stars
Didn't do a damned thing. Didn't improve or regulate my sleep, mitigate any depression or my appetite. Not a damned thing. I wasn't expecting a miracle or for it to do everything the bottle says it *might* do, but I figure out of three, it would at least help one thing (sleep, mood, appetite)but nope. Nada. I was really looking for a natural, gentle, non-prescription aid (not necessarily a solution, just something to help)and thought I had found it. No such luck. Oh well.
Bear in mind, different things work for different people so don't necessarily take my review as the gospel--it's just my honest experience.
Customer Review: Haven't quite taken it long enough to see results
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been taking 2 capsules daily for about 4 weeks. I have noticed that I do feel happier (before taking it I couldn't even feel joyful at all). I haven't taken it long enough to see the full effects though. I look forward to seeing if it helps with my anxiety the way it did for my brother.
I started out with 1 capsule a day and 10 days later decided to take 2 a day because I didn't feel any different. 2 Capsules a day seems to be the right dose for me. If you try this, just make sure that you give it time. It needs time to change the way your brain produces the "happy" feelings.
Customer Review: Experienced slight relaxing effect
Summary: 5 Stars
5-HTP is supposed to increase the amount and availability of serotonin produced by the body. This in turn is supposed to produce emotional well-being, appetite regulation, melatonin production and help with sleep.
The effect I experienced was very small but I was impressed that it does appear to work. Possibly individuals experience the effects in different magnitudes, and so you don't know if this is worthwhile until you try it. The directions say the serving size is one capsule - 100mg.
Customer Review: No Valerian
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this 5-HTP because it does NOT contain Valerian. I find that taken daily, Valerian contributes to my depression. Not to say that I don't like Valerian for high stress situations, or overworked muscles, just that I don't want a constant dose of it. I take 5-HTP instead of antidepressants, so I take 3, 3 times a day. I find that it also helps with carb cravings. I thought this Source One was a good value for the amount I take.
