NOW® Double Strength 5-HTP has twice the 5-HTP (200 mg per capsule) as in our regular strength product (100 mg per capsule). Natural color variation may occur in this product. For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking antidepressants or other medication, or have a medical condition. May cause drowsiness. Keep out of reach of children. Review: Serotonin - I have been taking NOW 5-htp for about two years now, and I can say that they have made a positive difference in my mood and sleep, but don't see any changes to my appetite. I take one pill at night right before bed. The directions recommend taking on an empty stomach, but I don't notice any difference taking the pill after I've eaten. I've tried the NOW 100 mg vs this NOW 200 mg and don't notice any difference. Since the price was quite similar, I decided to take this dosage going forward. Review: Effective for sleep quality when taken with GABA - This has been my first time using 5htp for sleep and its had a noticable effect. Sleep onset is faster and I seem to spend more time in REM since I'm having much more vivid and memorable dreams. I'll keep taking these for a while and then ween off to see if i notice any decline in sleep quality coming off them. I have been taking this with a GABA supplement so I cant say for sure whether the sleep quality increase is from this, the gaba, or a synergistic effect. Research studies point to it being a combined effect though. One thing to note though is i did get some stomach upset from them. Nothing severe, but definitely noticable from about 30 to 90 minutes after taking a full capsule when i first got them. Easy solution was to pop open the capsule and dump out about 1/4 of the powder, then close it and take the capsule. I did this for about 2 weeks and then stepped up to the full capsule. By that point my system had gotten used to it and I no longer had any stomach upset. ## Features - NEUROTRANSMITTER SUPPORT: NOW Double Strength 5-HTP has twice the 5-HTP (200 mg per capsule) as in our regular strength product (100 mg per capsule). - SUPPORTS POSITIVE MOOD/WITH GLYCINE, TAURINE AND INOSITOL: 5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan and serotonin, is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). - CLASSIFICATIONS/CERTIFICATIONS: Non-GMO, Kosher, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Made without Gluten, Nut Free, Soy Free, Vegan/Vegetarian - Non-GMO - A Dietary Supplement ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B0YA9DS | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Soy Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,658 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #768 in Multiple Vitamin-Mineral Combination Supplements | | Brand | NOW | | Brand Name | NOW | | Color | Beige | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,248 Reviews | | Diet Type | Halal | | Dosage Form | Capsule | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Flavour | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00733739001115, 00758399756380 | | Item Dimensions | 6.4 x 6.4 x 11.3 centimeters | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Item form | Capsule | | Item weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NOW | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0111 | | Material Features | Vegan | | Material Type Free | Egg Free, Soy Free | | Model Name | 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 200 mg | | Model Number | 0111 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | 5-hydroxytryptophan | | Primary supplement type | 5-hydroxytryptophan | | Product Benefits | Sleep Support | | Recommended Uses For Product | Nervous System Support | | Special Ingredients | 5-Hydroxytryptophan | | Specific Uses For Product | Nervous System Support | | Total Servings Per Container | 120 | | UPC | 733739001115 758399756380 | | Unit Count | 120 Count | | Unit count | 120 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** NOW - **Diet type:** Halal - **Flavour:** Unflavored - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.4 x 6.4 x 11.3 centimeters - **Item form:** Capsule - **Primary supplement type:** 5-hydroxytryptophan - **Product benefits:** Sleep Support - **Special ingredients:** 5-Hydroxytryptophan - **Unit count:** 120 Count ## Images ![NOW Supplements, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 200 mg, Double Strength, Neurotransmitter Support*, 120 Veg Capsules - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fcBr6gM0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The bottle says it has taurine- is this taurine lab synthesized?

Enhances my overall mood, attitude, outlook on life, and energy levels. I simply feel better taking these supplements. Helps me through the depressing winter months. For myself, I find that these are best taken on an empty stomach with a cup of coffee in the morning, and then I won't eat for an hour afterwards. Then I might take again at around 6 PM, as I typically don't eat dinner until 8 PM. Good stuff, good quality.
