The read

NOW Foods NOW 5-HTP 100mg: the formulation holds up. Lead: 5-HTP at 100 mg. 5-HTP at 100mg is a solid dose (67% of optimal 150mg). Clinical dose on the primary, and the panel holds together.

Mood and sleep support for those needing a serotonin precursor.. This is a basic hero product that hits the minimum effective dose. 100mg works for about 60% of people looking for mild relaxation. But most clinical studies for mood or deep sleep use 200mg to 300mg. It is a safe place to start, but it is not a high potency formula.
