Hi, it's great to see you around the Community forums for the first time @BnaitsirhC!  

 

I don't personally use these supplements, but I'm sure you'll be able to find other members on the Community who do.  Here are some threads of the discussion forums where you can find many people to add as friends as well:

So what are you using 5-HTP for exactly? I have used this for depression/anxiety in the past... I used 100mg and would take 1-3 capsules. I also use it as a sleep aid. I don't combine it with GABA ... just curious if you're using this as a sleep aid or something else?

I know 5htp is a seretonin precursor so I guess I'm not sure if there's some other reason to take it? 

Cheers

Hi, BnaitsirhC! I like to get information about supplements from www.pubmed.gov. I found many interesting articles there on the benefits of 5-HTP supplementation, but no recommendations regarding dose. In general, I usually buy a formulation that has a lower dose and follow the amount specified on the bottle. I take a time-release 100mg formulation made by Natrol. It also includes the co-factors like B-6 and B-12 that help your body utilize the 5-HTP.
