I WILL use this every day for the rest of my life!!!!
I rather stumbled across 5-HTP as I was looking for something to help with stress relief, insomnia, and possibly weight loss. I am an elementary school counselor and a single mom so I was looking for supplement that would give me assistance in these areas. The dosage I take is actually 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg before I go to bed, and my doctor has approved those amounts for me. I definitely can feel a sense of relaxation as soon as I take it in the morning. It helps me to have clarity of thought and a sense of peace as I handle sometimes very delicate situations with my students and handle the stresses of daily life. It also helps me to relax and fall asleep easily at night. I have been taking it now for approximately three months and will not ever go a day without it again. Along with exercise, also as a stress reliever, and a low-carb diet I have also lost approximately 15 pounds in the past couple of months when I have not been able to lose weight in four years, so I guess that could also possibly be attributed to the benefits of 5-HTP. I tell everyone I know about how wonderful this product is and have been giving out samples, bc I feel so strongly about how beneficial it is. I do a lot of research and this particular brand was highly recommended and I have found it to be very effective. I would very highly recommended, and do - almost on a daily basis! In my personal opinion I believe that 5-HTP is one of those life-changing supplement that you will not be disappointed with. And this particular company, BioScience Nutrition, has been very responsive and supportive through customer service. They even offered to give me a free bottle based on my review, but that's just a bonus, since it's part of my daily routine from here on out! 👍🏻🙂
