5-HTP

Thank you again Hatter for your expertise,
and Navigator… I would definantly like to hear how your HTP experience goes.

got the pills today. i will test them few days and report.

nutritional value per capsule:
niacin 30 mg
B6 10 mg
folacin 100 mcg
biotin 50 mcg
zinc 5 mg
5-HTP 100mg

Hmmm, I just have straight 5-HTP. Is that pill marketed as anything in particular? I’m just wondering becuase I’m not sure how those B vitamins are going to effect the 5-HTP.

it is from Healthy Direct, Seratone 5-HTP.

I wonder why they added all of those other vitamins? Strange.

So how did it go?

I’m wondering now too…

i didn’t write report yet because the testing was too short and heavy interrupted with inconsistent sleep pattern. last week i took the pills 3 times (3 x 3 pills). first time the effect was quite strong, the other two times there was no noticeable effect. but as i said before, sleeping was influenced by many other factors.

im taking 200mg of 5htp tonight vouple hours before i go to bed…

ill post a report tmw.

well i can confirm this is true,

the overall vividness was one i hadnt seen in a long time

although i wouldnt advise taking 5htp for ld purposes alone.

:cool:

I just picked up some 200 mg 5-htp pills from GNC, and plan to start taking it either today or tomorrow.

I will be posting the results I get in this thread.

This stuff is supposed to help a lot for insomnia, but it also greatly increases the amount of time you spend in REM sleep. So I get to look forward to lots and lots of dreaming per night.

5-HTP is great. Enjoy

In what way? I’m going to take it tonight. What have you experienced with it?

I would try that but I can’t think of a way to ask my parents without them laughing at me lol. Nobody I know gets the point of lucid dreaming.

I have taken it for really spectacular mood enhancement.
I have notice better quality of dreams and sleep. I wake more rested when I take it and remember more dreams. 5-HTP is great for so many things. Books have been written on it.

Because 5-HTP boost serotonin it will sharpen your mind, help you in studying and with your level of attention. 5-HTP also rebuilds the body and mind from stress. Do some research and gear your comments to your parents toward everything else but lucid dreaming.

If I take it close to when I go to bed, to help insomnia, do you think I will still get the help from it throughout the next day?

my recommendation is in the first month you take about 300mg a day spread over the day in 100mg doses that will rejuvenate your brain and body from years of damage. After that you can take a 100mg dose at night before bed. The effects on your body and mind will only increase.

I have 200 mg tablets so maybe I’ll start with just taking it at night before bed, and later on buying 100 mg tablets to take throughout the day.

How expensive is this stuff ?
