AMAZING
I am a huge fan of reviews on products. I always read them before I buy anything. This product is sooooooooo AMAZING. I started a very HIGH stressed job last year and ended up gaining 30lbs because of the hours I was working and all of the stress I was under. a few weeks ago I almost quit my job because I couldn’t handle the stress anymore and almost felt like I was becoming depressed. I have always been a very positive minded, happy go lucky person, but after a year of my high stressed job I became down, irritable and could not sleep at night. I did a little research and ended up purchasing this along with some Tyrosene. I’m so happy I bought this, it’s a miracle to me. I can’t believe this is a supplement because it works wonderfully.My stress levels are nearly non existent, I’m not bothered by the things that used to stress me out, I can sleep at night. I even get up every morning to work out and I am starting to shed the lbs i gained. It also really helps with my appetite which is a huge plus for me. I had my husband try this out as well and even he notices a huge difference. For him it took a few days of taking it to notice a difference. I noticed right away. I hadn’t been sleeping well at all so the first day I took it, it made me very tired. After taking it for a few days (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) it gives me a relaxed but energized feeling during the day and makes me tired and sleep well at night. I actually had one of my co wokers try this today because she was a little stressed, she called me on her way home and asked me where I got it. lol. Worth every penny. I love this stuff.

So far, so good!
I saw a post that went viral on Facebook about a guy who has ADHD and takes this to help. He RAVED about it. He also said how it was good for depression and anxiety. So without talking to a doctor…I decided to buy some for myself. I don’t have ADHD but I’ve been struggling with my emotions and I have trouble falling asleep/waking up every morning. I started these pills 2 weeks ago and I have noticed a HUGE difference in the way I think and feel. It took a couple nights in order for it to kick in and so far I love it. If I don’t take it with food, I feel sick to my stomach. The first week, I took a pill in the morning and one at night. I noticed that I feel a little out of it when I take one in the morning and I think that’s bc it says these pills might make you sleepy. The second week I switched to taking 2 before bed and I find that is better for me. I actually want to go out of the house and enjoy myself instead of staying home and moping around. I am also extremely shy and I feel that these pills have helped me break out of my sell a little bit as crazy as that sounds. I have been sleeping great at night. I have not gotten any side effects yet. So far, I love these pills.

I really do notice a difference.
I tried 5-HTP after a friend recommended it to me, saying it would help me fall asleep without nightmares (which, I get nightmares when I take melatonin). So I stopped by the drugstore on the way home from work and the only type of 5-HTP available was Nature’s Bounty. I took it, and didn’t notice a change in my sleeping habits really but it REALLY, REALLY helped balance my mood. I’m just peppier with this stuff. Maybe it’s all in my head, but I don’t dwell on negative thoughts when taking this, when without it I do.After I finished off the bottle I searched online for another brand, something that was vegetarian and maybe higher-end. I thought, why not experiment? It can only get better from here, right? Not so much.I tried a much “higher-end”, vegetarian 5-HTP, also 100 mg, that got several rave reviews. But I didn’t notice a significant change in my mood while taking it. I just felt down, the way I normally feel when not taking 5-HTP at all. I finally gave up, and ordered Nature’s Bounty, which is significantly cheaper when ordering online v. the price my drugstore charges for it. After the first day of taking it again I felt chatty and in a significantly better mood.Maybe all this is in my head, maybe it’s the mix of 5-HTP with Valerian root. I don’t think it’s the vitamins, as I already take a multivitamin on the side. Whatever it is, if you’re thinking of taking this product for a mood booster I highly recommend it. I’ve tried lots of different herbal remedies, including plain Valerian root, Saint John’s Wort, etc., and I never noticed a difference and never finished a bottle. I am so thankful I finally tried this product. It has really helped give me a chance to focus on happy thoughts and be the peppy person I used to be 🙂

Gave me heart palpitations
Took it for 6 months before I realized it was the cause of my heart palpitations at bedtime. All I could hear was my heartbeat in my ears, thought I was on the verge of a heart attack at 40! As soon as I stopped it I was fine again.
