Title:No more raw nerves

Date:November 16, 2011

"After getting up at five in the morning, battling rude drivers for an hour to get to work, spending eight hours at a busy job with a bossy boss, spending another hour battling more rude drivers to get home to messy kitchen that was clean when I left or dog doodoo in the hallway, I was ready to strangle someone.

No more. Nothing seems to bother me these days. I take three Swanson's St. Johns Wart and one of these a day.

I can't take the 5-HTP in the evening though, I'm one of the small percentage that are perked up by it rather than sedated. I take it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning."

Date:July 21, 2011

"The price would be fair even for 50mg but for 100mg it's fantastic. I take this once in the morning and once in the evening and it has me feeling pretty even keel. I feel uplifted without feeling on-edge or overly-stimulated. I also sleep much better than I used to. I take this with the Swanson's L-Theanine. I got the idea because I saw a top-rated product that paired the two in the same supplement, but buying them separately with the Swanson's brand is actually cheaper."

"I take 1 capsule 20 minutes before going to bed and I could feel I'm in for a good night sleep. Sleeping is critical to my good health. I know I won't feel good in the morning if I don't get a good night sleep. It works. I also take magensium to relax my heart as part of a good night sleep too."

Title:Love This!!!

Date:February 15, 2011

"I have been doing a low-carb diet for a while now with fabulous results, however, the lack of carbs does not make the body produce serotonin. I have found since being on this diet I do tend to feel down.

Originally I started taking 5-HTP to help me sleep more soundly. I have found it very effective! I also carry a few extra pills in my bag during the day if I feel myself getting down or stressed.

The capsules make it easy to open and add 1/2 the formula to some water (I find I get too groggy if I try taking a whole pill during the day)

This has become a staple in my daily regimen."
