I tried 2 other 5-HTP supplements from other brands at the 50mg capsule level and felt benefit, but nothing dramatic. But I felt I still needed something else. I had figured out that two 50mg pills at a time was best, so when I finished the other brands, I decided to just move up to the 100mg capsule level. In so doing, I decided to try Healthy Origins since it seemed so cheap and popular. Wow! What a difference! During the first day I felt that it dramatically helped my anxiety. I realized that certain tasks at work that I feel mild dread toward seemed to not be such a big deal. The 5-HTP alone would not be enough and vice versa. But they seem to work really well together at helping me get through the day and sleeping at night. Certainly better than effexor + risperidone ever did, and minus the horrible effexor side effects! I take 1 capsule of this 5-HTP in the morning on an empty stomach when I wake up. Before bed, I take another single capsule along with Melatonin bought at http://goo.gl/Z6jD3 .

I have been taking 5-HTP for about five years now, on and off. It has been quite helpful, though nothing replaces a good therapist! I was taking "Dr.'s Best" up until recently, but the price dropped low on this brand, and so far it seems to be just as good.

I take 2 of these at bedtime with 2 valerians and I definitely sleep better!

Great for deeper sleep. I take 2 at bedtime, eliminates my need for melatonin & I wake up more refreshed. Only mild effect on my daytime anxiety though (1 cap).

Seems fine. i have had zero issues with this at all, and the price is good but then I've never been some one with a delicate stomach. That said, I wont' be orderign ti again, becaue I find that the L-Tryptophan ( I tried both) is more effective for my anxiety/depression.
