For commercial description of 5HTP look at:

http://www.webfactor.com/dhea/5htp.htm

There have been several reports of adverse reactions to this substance and

also some concern about impurities. For those who don't mind wading through dry

biochemical research lingo, you can find some of these issues addressed at:

" Natural " medicines aren't necessarily better or safer than

pharmaceuticals, though they are almost always less expensive. Choose

carefully, and be alert for side effects.

Best wishes,
