"This was my first order of Vitacost brand and have taken other brands with the same dosage. It does not work as well as Jarrow and Source Naturals. Noticeable difference in my mood."

So far, so good...
 October 24, 2010
"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)"
