5-Hydroxy-Tryptophan, an immediate bio-precursor of serotonin. I

used it for several months, and it did not seem to do much for me, so

I did not reorder. I do not suffer from clinical depression, and I

took it mainly to decrease anxiety-induced late evening snacking.

Actually, I don't have the need to snack very much after dinner,

though I still take a small bowl of ice cream every now and then.

I get a lot of printed and email info on alternative therapies and herbal

treatments, etc. The ones that want to sell me something hype 5-HTP. The ones I

trust, as giving sound and reasoned, objective advice, all advise against it. I

do not, off the top of my head, remember the reasons why (if it's not

something I'M taking, I just file the info in my brain as ok or not ok; too

much

overload up there already, LOL), but do remember deciding it is NOT something I

would attempt. You could try asking on the Dr. Weil website for more

info..........

Well, among other reasons, some of the earlier products contained

toxic impurities. --Steve
