NOW 5-HTP 100mg
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.
7.5/10
VERY GOOD5-HTP at 100mg is a solid dose (67% of optimal 150mg). Chewable tablet form is convenient. Clean formula from a trusted value brand. 5-HTP has good evidence for mood and sleep support. One cap is adequate, two would be optimal. Important safety note: never combine with SSRIs. Good starting product for serotonin support.
