5 htp is short for hydroxytryptophan...it is supposed to promote positive mood and help control appetite. It basically is a source of amino acid that is supposed to naturally increase the bodies levels of serotonin. It is also supposed to benefit your sleep also. It usually comes in 100 mg capsules and can be purchased wherever you buy your dietary supplements.

I have actually been taking this, but have not noticed any significant changes in my sleep, mood, or appetite. It says that you can take it up to two times a day, but I only take it once, so maybe that is why I have not noticed any improvements?!

Anyway, for more information, you can google 5 htp and it will give you some websites that discuss it more.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, then...and if you aren't having any trouble with your mood or appetite suppression or sleep, then there is no need for you to anyway. I started taking it to hopefully help with mood and sleep....those are two areas I struggle with sometimes.

Patty, if you asked My husband he would say "get it" just for my mood...but don't know if i can blame that on Phen

Haha!! I know exactly what you mean!! lol!!!

I did take a second capsule last night after supper....felt very drowsy and content at bedtime and slept very well. Not sure if it was because of the 5 htp or the fact that I was just tired! lol!

My moods have never been very "normal"...I can be happy one minute and furious the next, and it has been that way my whole life. I have a sister who is bi-polar and I've often wondered if the only difference between her and I is that she has gotten a diagnosis! lol!!
