"I tried it and prefer the Doctors Best over this brand. This product wants you to take two a day and Doctors Best is one a day and that works better for me. I also felt happy on Doctors Best and feel nothing with this product."
"I have tried other brands and this one is the best. I like the small coated tablet rather than a capsule, and the dosage of 50 mg seems to be perfect when I take it twice a day."

"I tried this brand a couple of months ago. I really liked it then. When I ran out I bought another brand at my local health food store. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working as well for me. I ordered Nature's Way again from VitaCost. I received it yesterday and took one this morning. MY WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I can't believe how much better this brand is! This will be the only brand I use from now on. It only takes about 15 minutes and you feel MUCH better! BUY IT!"

"My daughter has up and down constant emotions beyond a normal teen and she loves this item. Some days she only takes one in the morning and some days has taken 3 by the end of the day depending on her stress and ability to feel in control of her emotions."

Puts me to sleep fast!
October 19, 2007
By August
from Houston, TX
"I don't consume caffeine, but I have a stressful job that can keep me up at night. I was tired of sleeping pills because of the "hung over" feeling the next morning. The first night I took 5-HTP I was asleep in about 30 minutes. I just followed the recommended dosage of two tablets. My sleep is so deep and peaceful. I am refreshed the next morning. I rarely have time for 8 hrs. of sleep. I normally average about 6-7 hours, and on some nights only 4-5 hrs. There is never a hung over feeling. It's so wonderful! My sleep is sooo "delicious"."
