    I like the NOW brand.
    A reliable brand, with a great variety of products, at a convenient price point.
    Most people are familiar with tryptophan being in turkey and feeling sleepy after eating it.
    That is one of the functions of tryptophan - to be converted into melatonin.
    And that's why you feel sleepy after eating turkey. :)
    Tryptophan is also used by the body to make serotonin - the feel good neurotransmitter.
    5-HTP does the same thing.
    Why?
    The body uses tryptophan to make 5-HTP, which then converts it into the 2 different hormones: melatonin and serotonin.
    Everybody's body is different when it comes to supplements.
    I find that I prefer tryptophan over 5-HTP. I notice the effects more so.

    Really hard on stomach, avoid taking it empty stomach. Its protein amino acid, better to avoid. I skipped this and went for NOW 5-htp 100mg.
