BESTVITE5-HTP 400mg per Capsule (60 Vegetarian Capsules) - No Stearates - Vegan - Non GMO - Gluten Free - Extra Strength 5HTP

I buy this supplement and brand over and over. Very good quality and price.

My functional medicine doctor wanted me to take 400 mg of this for sleep, and it was hard to find a product with that amount. This has it! I’m a horrible sleeper so not 100% sure this is making a huge difference, but I do seem to be sleeping a bit better.

Made me throw up literally everytime I took it. Within an hour I would feel light headed and woozy. I would then break out in a cold sweat and violently vomit. After 3 days of this, I finally tossed them in the trash. Buyer beware!

I've been using the product for about a week, one capsule per night just before bedtime. It's difficult for me to distinguish whether a new supplement helps me with sleep because I combine a number of them (Hemp oil gummies, melatonin, magnesium glycinate, and Valerian Root). However, after adding in this 5-HTP product, I do think that it helps with deep sleep and I've noted better sleep scores with my Fitbit, especially with the deep sleep.5-Hydroxytrytophane (%-HTP) is a metabolite of tryptophane, which is a precursor to serotonin. At least one study has shown that 5-HTP helps people go to sleep quicker and sleep more deeply compared to taking a placebo. Researchers recommend 200 to 400 mg, but it may up to 12 weeks to be fully effective. I didn't need that long. I believe that it is helping me to sleep after the first week. I look forward to testing it more and to adding it to my regular nighttime sleep regimen.One thing I'd like for the manufacturer to hear is that it would be good if you added to the information on the product that you have tested for the presence of the substance 'Peak X'. Yes, I know the product is produced in the USA in a GMP facility and that it is tested for purity and potency (per their product description). However, given that the Peak X contaminant in a particular manufacturing batch of tryptophane in Japan over 30 years ago lead to an FDA recall of all tryptophane, and that lower levels were also found in 5-HTP, it would make me feel better to know that this product does not contain any.

This is pretty much what you would expect from 5HTP. This is double dose 5HTP at 400mg per capsule instead of the 200mg standard. This is perfect if you normally take 2 capsules per day since you can get the same dose with 1 capsule of this 5HTP. It just depends on the dose you want to take. If 200mg has been working for you, then I would not recommend this.I use 5HTP to address a minor serotonin deficiency. It works quite well for me and really made a big difference in my life. I have tried a variety of different brands and this one lives up to my expectations. I would recommend checking with your doctor before using 5HTP since it can cause undesirable interactions with other medications. So it is a good idea to make sure your doctor thinks its a good idea for you to use it.

I've had success taking 5HTP and regularly take it as my natural health care. I personally feel that it works the way it's described to work. These capsules are easy to swallow and don't have any aftertaste.

I have been taking this along with magnesium each evening to support better sleep. Before trying this, I took another 5-HTP formula that required two capsules but this one only takes one, making it a better value in my opinion.

This 5HTP is a clean version kind that I like. It has very minimal filler (I don't understand why add fillers to begin with). I take it at night and it helps me sleep better and I have good focus the next morning, I like it.
