Mt. Angel Vitamins - 5-HTP, Serotonin Support (30 Vegetarian Capsules)

I ordered Highland Labs 5-HTP capsules to test them for quality, effectiveness and ease of use. I suffer from major depressive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and bi-polar and take several prescription medications for these diseases. Anytime I can find a cheaper, more natural solution for my problems, I will try them. I have never tried this supplement before but have heard about 5-HTP and its effect on seratonin levels, which controls the part of the brain where depression and anxiety comes from. This bottle is made from plant resins and contains 30 normal sized capsules which is a 30 day supply. The capsules contain 5 mg of niacin and 10 mg of vitamin B6 and 100 mg of 5-HTP. They contain no soy, salt, yeast, gluten, milk, egg, sugar, starch or preservatives. This is a natural product and I have been taking them for 11 days now and I do notice I am sleeping a little bit more soundly. I am not groggy when I wake up, but I am getting better quality sleep. My husband says I am not as anxious and have calmed down. So far, I am impressed and am excited to see what happens after a month of these. I would recommend these, based on results so far.I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Gave me stomach problems. It may be my own body but I didn't like this one and the Brain Flex. I do though like their liquid sunshine. But these, nope.

Seems to help me sleep and feel better.

We've used 5-HTP in our family for years. With two kids on the autism spectrum, this was recommended to me by a neurologist around 2010 when one of my kids was sleeping about an hour a day and we had exhausted all pharmaceuticals to help her sleep to absolutely no avail. Melatonin also never had any affect on her. 5-HTP was the only thing that helped her stay asleep longer than one hour so it has been a must have ever since. While the benefits for sleep were apparent immediately, there has also been some success with moods. And that wasn't and isn't quite so apparent until we run out of it and I think maybe we don't need anymore. Then the sadness and crying and blues come back with a vengeance. So...we try not to run out of this stuff.I really like Mt. Angel Vitamins. They do not include any yeast, soy, gluten, milk, egg, or preservatives. Again, being an autism family, yeast, soy, gluten and milk are our worst enemies. These vegetarian capsules are smaller than your average capsule and they can absolutely be opened and dump the contents in food to conceal it.I am including two pictures. One of these capsules. One of these capsules next to a standard sized capsule.I did receive this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I am a long-time user of 5-HTP and when this brand was offered to me at a discount in exchange for my review, I jumped at the opportunity. I had only one day left of my old brand when these arrived, so I jumped right into taking them. I'm impressed! Even at full retail price, these are less expensive than my prior brand. And they work identically. I have noticed no difference whatsoever in efficacy.I take 5-HTP to help me with insomnia and anxiety. I'm a single mother and I don't like giving money to big pharma if there's a proven natural remedy that can assist me. I really love 5-HTP and what it has done for me. I have had no ill side effects from taking this supplement. It has only been an enhancement in my life. I will gladly re-order these at full retail price when my bottle runs out.I received this supplement at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.
