This is a blend of mood and anxiety relieving supplements that actually WORKS
I ran out of 5HTP and noticed this when I was shopping for the best price. It was the lowest priced, but I felt a little uncertain as I purchased it because the 5HTP amount doesn't seem to be very high, the company doesn't tell me specifically how much 5HTP is in their blend, and it's a blend - something I've learned to be very careful with because many blends don't include enough of anything to work, and they can easily create an overdose situation when combined with other supplements. Fortunately, the only concern I had with this was that it wouldn't work....<br /><br />... Ummm. It actually DOES work. I do have to take it more on an as-needed basis than I do with the pills. One in the morning, and two to three more throughout the day if I need them. It's a bit inconvenient to have to remember to pop more, but nothing unmanageable. It basically helps me control my own anxiety and depression. It does NOT make them go away on its own, but neither does 5HTP by itself. But it DOES make me better able to cope with stress without it impacting my physical health, and it also improves my mood by default a bit so it's easier to fend off depression and overworrying.<br /><br />I get serotonin syndrome easily from antidepressants and get my serotonin supply burned all up, so that's why I take 5HTP instead (with my psychiatrist's approval). Instead of trying to limit the reuptake (e.g.) recycling of the body's serotonin to trick it into making more, 5HTP supports the actual production of serotonin. Because of this, it should NEVER be combined with prescription antidepressants - the combination is almost guaranteed to create serotonin syndrome. However, for someone whose brain still doesn't increase serotonin production with an antidepressant limiting its reuptake, 5HTP can be a literal lifesaving alternative. Chances are high in these cases that your brain needs help with MAKING serotonin in the first place; not just with regulating it.<br /><br />MTHFR... take notice on this particular amino! It can resolve a LOT of mental health issues you experience simply due to MTHFR not processing certain key nutrients for mental health and stability.<br /><br />The taste. Hahahaha. Orange cream was not the greatest flavor idea, okay? But it's tolerable enough. Just not enjoyable. And it is kind of slow to meltdown all the way. If you don't like the taste, a drink helps.<br /><br />Comes in blister foil packs, so you can slip one of them into your purse for on the go convenience.<br /><br />Totally digging this product. Thanks for this discount so I would find it! Because I'm pretty sure this item doesn't cost what I paid for it normally lol.<br /><br />Update: I'm now on my second box. I got tired of using 4x daily, so I got extra strength HTP for night and I'm using this for daytime support. I take one in the morning, more if I'm having a moody day and need the extra help.
