Natrol® 5-HTP 100 mg, 150 Tablets

Natrol®, the trusted brand in 5-HTP, now offers 5-HTP in a Time Release 100mg tablet version.  5-HTP is a drug-free plant-derived source of an amino acid that naturally increases the body's level of serotonin, the chemical messenger that affects emotions, behavior, appetite, thought, and sleep. Today’s stress-filled lifestyles and dietary practices may negatively alter serotonin metabolism, which can cause irritability. Regular use of Natrol 5-HTP helps provide a more positive outlook and promotes relaxation, calm, and greater appetite control. 5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin, the body’s chemical messenger involved in enhancing mood and controlling appetite. Supplementing with 5-HTP helps balance the serotonin production in the body, which helps enhance mood. 5-HTP 100mg Time Release tablets release slowly and steadily over a period of 12 hours for all day mood & appetite support. Natrol 5-HTP has been the subject of extensive clinical research demonstrating its beneficial effects on mood. Natrol 5-HTP Mood and Relaxation Easy To Swallow tablets are 100% drug free and vegetarian.   †These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.  This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Sleeping better....that's all

Pros: great price helps sleep
Cons: do your homework it can have serious side effects
"I have been taking this product, as directed, for a month now. I am definitely sleeping better. As far as mood enhancement and weight loss, it has done nothing for me. I am still cranky and haven't lost an ounce. I would recommend to anyone who has trouble staying asleep."

Better than expected

Pros: extended release, watch for the coupons
"I'm a night owl and normally have trouble falling asleep or waking early. Additionally, I occasionally experience low moods. I started taking this with Cataplex D (a vitamin D supplement from Standard Process) and I'm feeling like a new woman! I sleep better, wake rested, and have been feeling awesome! I've been using this product for 3 months and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Highly recommended!"

Works well, but don't overdose!

Pros: calming effect
Cons: unknown long term effects
"I bought 5-HTP half expecting it to be a placebo. Within two weeks, however, I started noticing the positive effects. I'm much more calm, collected, with greater mental clarity. I take one pill in the morning, and one at night. I sleep better at night, which is an added bonus.
This product is well worth the price. I worry about some of the health concerns I've been reading about, however. Also, if I take more than 2 pills at a time, I get lethargic.
All in all, worth the money."

Sleep All Night

"I've had a problem with insomnia my entire life. I managed to stay away from prescription drugs, but have relied heavily on melatonin and valerian based herbal remedies. They're good at putting me to sleep, but not for the entire night. If I take more to get back to sleep I wake up feeling hungover. 5-htp has quickly changed my life. I sleep through the night, and have no trouble getting back to sleep if I don't. For the first time in my life I know what it's like to feel refreshed when I wake up in the morning."

A.A.D.H.D. like symptoms?

"I discovered I had an unusually low level of seratonin production and an unusually high level of Ephedrin. I was losing sleep. I was irritable at times even rage filled for no understandable reason and I was having a huge problem focusing.
My Naturopath M.D. ran Urine and Fecal tests that showed these results clinicly and the 5 HTP leveled the playing fied for me remarkably.
I recommend the product highly especially at this price.

great product

Pros: 100mg time released
"1st you can't get a better deal than this for this particular product. 100mg at this price is great. If you are trying to lose weight, are going through menopause - mood swings etc., use this along with chromium, DIM, and a good eating plan you will feel the difference in a matter of days."

Snake-oil

Pros: does no harm
Cons: does no good
"Does no harm (except a pinch on your wallet) but does no good either; have a glass of beer or wine instead."

Excellent quality

Pros: price!
"While I may have given 5 stars and a recommendation I urge anyone wanting to take this please read about it 1st and know what you are doing. This does and will affect your blood pressure. It does work and I really like this product. Recommended dosage is 50 mg or half a tablet. Too much is NOT a good thing! This is as powerful as it gets w/o a script."

Best Natural Mood Enhancer

Pros: can't purchase this size anywhere else
Model Number: 5-HTP
"This has been a wonderful product and I'm thrilled to see Costco carry it at a very good price. I very much prefer a natural alternative to prescriptions, if at all possible. And I have found this to be far and away, better than others, such as St. John's Wort."
