 EXCELLENT PRODUCT BY SOURCE NATURALS FOR THOSE OF US WHO NEED IT September 18, 2006

VERY GOOD MEDICINE FOR THOSE OF US WHO NEED IT
ABOUT BRANDS - 'SOURCE NATURALS'
Recently I ran out of 5-HTP and I purchased this 'Source Naturals' product with basically the results I attained from the same dosages from 'Now' or 'Nature's Way' or 'Swanson' brand products. This is a pretty good price and I will probably use this product again, especially if it is competitively priced. In the past I have purchased some products from Source Naturals, mostly amino acids, so I felt this would be a safe bet.
SO WHAT IS THIS - '5-HTP' STUFF ALL ABOUT?
As 5-HTP goes, this is good stuff and reasonably priced. It does seem to cause vivid dreams and it seems to have the effects it is supposed to. However, it should be noted that although you need take only 1-2 capsules for insomnia, the short half life of 5-HTP from "GRIFFONIA SEEDS" necessitates rather frequent dosing for depression and appetite suppression, usually 4x per day and attention needs to be paid to the timing of doses with other amino acids. Serotonin syndrome may also be an issue for some.
Whereas many important issues are not certain or resolved regarding 5-HTP dosage and usage, it does seem to do a lot of good when used appropriately. Naturally a lot more can be said and books have been written on 5-HTP. It is a product that must be used with considerable care and professional medical monitoring is advisable due to the serious conditions it is used for and its effects on human brain chemistry. [Depression, Obesity, Insomnia] Nevertheless after taking it for 3 years I can say that I have experienced no negative side effects. Also, I have noticed reduced cravings for sweets, less anxiety in social situations and have slept better than I ever have. There has also been no sign of 5-HTP being habit forming in my experience.
5-HTP COMBINES WELL WITH L-TYROSINE
If you are considering using this product for anxiety or sociophobic disorders [NOW] makes a 200mg dosage combined with the amino acid L-tyrosine. Many have found the addition of 250 mg of L-tyrosine to be most helpful and the product still retains all of its other characteristics.

Good for Lucid Dreaming and Astral Travel February 17, 2008

I was born with the natural ability to travel out-of-body and have lucid dreams. However I recommend this product to all my students. I do take this from time to time, 2 capsules before bed and I have felt the added boost to my lucidness. You will definitely have more vivid dreams and better memory retention of those dreams. Many of my students have told me that they did have an increased awareness in the dream plane. I suggest getting on the monthly/quarterly subscription plan so you can also save 15% on the cost.

I've been working swing-shifts for over 4 years now and it's habit forming to stay up late in the morning and wake up late in the afternoon, these pills are by far the biggest natural mood enhancers I've ever taken, they definitely increase the serotonin levels in me and substitute melatonin that I'm not getting through daylight. Great product, definitely worth a try.

I have always had some depression and had a friend who told me for years to try 5HTP. Finally I read it in a book and tried it (should listen to my friends). After a bad bought of gloomy days I took this before bed and woke up without any sadness! I take it every night now and have only gotten sad when there is a good reason to. I recommend trying it.

I spent a morning "tossing my cookies" after trying this just one time. I stopped it immediately. I cannot testify as to whether it works but will tell you it made me nausous.
