NOW 5-HTP 100mg
Mood and sleep support for those needing a serotonin precursor.. This is a basic hero product that hits the minimum effective dose. 100mg works for about 60% of people looking for mild relaxation. But most clinical studies for mood or deep sleep use 200mg to 300mg. It is a safe place to start, but it is not a high potency formula.
7.4/10
VERY GOODA reliable starting point for serotonin support without any unnecessary fillers.
