Primaforce 5-HTP 100mg Supplement, 120 Capsules, 100mg Per Serving, 5-Hydroxytryptophan

Awesome product; I first took 5htp 14 years ago as recommended by my weight loss physician, and lost almost 100lbs. I kept the weight off for a decade, and then i let things go. Was at 243lbs on January 25th 2022, but now, on October 4th 2022, I'm back down to 167lbs and still losing.I'm on a low calorie diet that is mostly protein, so very very few carbs. 5htp helps reduce carb cravings, and it also helps with sleep, so i take 500mg with dinner and 500mg with my bedtime pills and that has been helpful in keeping carb cravings at bay since i started this diet. I haven't cheated a single time, which also helps, because the more sugar we have, the more we crave.So over two weeks ago i switched out this 5htp for my regular brand, and it definitely worked! No side effects other than what i expect, if i take these on an empty stomach, after 30-60 minutes i will start not feeling good. So i make sure my stomach isn't empty. If i were only taking 100mg at a time, this wouldn't be an issue.One possible side effect from taking 5htp is having very vivid dreams. I've been taking 5htp long enough that my body no longer seems to be responding in that way, and i haven't had any vivid dreams that i remember lately, until the first night i used this product. However, that was the only night i remember having very vivid dreams, so it definitely impacted my system in a way that indicated to me the supplement was doing what it should; both by keeping carb cravings away and by helping me fall asleep and stay asleep.Additionally, the side effects unrelated to intended use, of stomach reminding me to eat if i take it on an empty stomach, and the vivid dream one night, are pretty unique to this supplement, in my opinion, and indicate to me that the supplement is working how i want it to work. I'm very happy with this product!

I've been taking 5-HTP for many years to help with afternoon blues (feeling low around 3:00 pm until 5:00 pm) and have found it helpful. This brand was as effective as the others that I've tried as switching to it didn't result in any changes to my mood. This supplement doesn't produce serotonin, but it helps create the building blocks so your body can produce more serotonin so it improves mood by making sure your body has what it needs to make mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. If you are low on the building blocks to make serotonin, this will help you. If you are not, it won't make any difference. I've read that it is also supposed to reduce carb cravings (because carbohydrates are part of what helps your body make serotonin), but that has never been one of the effects it has had on me.In terms of how this is to take, I found it easy to tolerate. It didn't produce any stomach upset or changes to bathroom habits. I found it easy to swallow and it didn't have a taste nor did it produce any weird burps. I was glad that this was a once-a-day formula as many of the types I've taken are twice daily which is more troublesome. I was satisfied with the impact this had on my mood issues.

Now that I've taken the entire bottle of this supplement, here are my impressions:1. Initially, I didn't notice any benefits. In fact, it took over 3 weeks before I started to notice anything at all.2. When I did start to notice benefits, the first thing I noticed was that I started being able to unwind a little easier at the end of my days.3. I also began to noticed I didn't feel as much stress as I typically did before taking this supplement.4. The last thing I noticed was that once this kicked in, I just seemed to be more leveled out from a mood standpoint, each night.5. At no time has this supplement improved my sleep.Bottom line:For me, this supplement seems to be more of a stress reducer, and mood leveler.4 stars

This review is for: Primaforce 5-HTP 100mg Supplement, 120 Capsules, 100mg Per Serving, 5-HydroxytryptophanI've been taking 100mg. of 5-HTP before bed for at least 15 years.... maybe 20 years.I got started on it back when Dr. Mercola was my physician (when he was seeing patients... before he started his online business). He recommended it for myself and my son for sleep.I've been taking it ever since. I don't have many issues with sleep unless I stop taking 5-HTP and potassium. The potassium helps KEEP you from waking during the night, by the way.This is a good price for 120 capsules.Hope this was helpful.

I've been taking L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP for a few years now, at the recommendation of my counselor. It helps with my mood and leaves me feeling in a generally better overall mindset when I take them.As for these tablets, I had no issues with them, no difficulty swallowing, no gross burps afterwards or anything like that. I went through the entire bottle before writing this review, but I no longer have the packaging to photograph or cross reference. Normally, I'll go with bulk packages of tablets when I can afford to, but these just so happened to be available, so I decided to give them a try.I can't really say whether these are any good for any purposes besides what I use them for, but they did good, and overall, I'm very satisfied with them.

I ordered this after I saw a TikTok regarding HTP as a natural mood booster. The doctor on the TikTok recommended a dose equivalent to two of these capsules. I take this before bed, and actually I feel great. My sleep quality has improved and I’ve been able to fall back asleep during the dreaded 3 o’clock wake up. I exercise and eat well and stay hydrated, so anything I can do to enhance my physical well-being I am up to trying it.
