So far, so good...

"The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because I'm still not convinced 5HTP is doing anything for me. I like Vitacost & the NSI brand. It is a LOT cheaper than other brands, which is good."

Does what it's meant to do
May 28, 2010
"I originally purchased this product with the intention of helping me *feel* better - mood-wise; and it did! Yet, I also discovered it helped me alot to sleep more soundly. So, I now take it only right before going to sleep. I not only sleep better, but the *good* feeling last all day long! Great product NSI! (as always)"

Excellent Product!!
November 26, 2009
"I bought 5-HTP for the first time and I am amazed at the results. I feel calm and relaxed. I'm a type A personality and sometimes just can't let myself slow down. After taking this product, I felt like I was enjoying each moment more and feel happier. In addition I feel more energy and don't wear out quite as fast as I normally would."
