5-HTP con Vitaminas B6 y C – Doctor’s Best

Good price for alot of supplements. It didn't give me energy like I thought it was. It has vitamin B and C in it. I usually take 200 5HTP maybe that's why it didn't work that good. It's easy to take and swallow. There's no taste.

I bought these as a suggestion from a workout and diet training/fitness book that I was reading. I bought these on a whim, not really thinking that they would be very effective. I was wrong about that. I also like that they are lightweight and easy to swallow. I will be purchasing these again.

This is a natural aid for depression. You’re supposed to take me six when you take five HTP in this one has the basics included which is great.Both of us take this to help with depression and I tell everyone about it. They really don’t believe me at first and I offered to buy it back from them if it doesn’t work. However when they take it it does work and they get relief! Helps keep you calm and helps you not to be agitated when under stress and the rest of the time. Went under a lot of stress may need to increase it to two times a day

I get weather triggered migraines and 5 HTP helps immensely with controlling with these headaches. I used to take multiple doses a day, with Doctor's Best 5 HTP I usually only have to take 1 or maybe 2 doses now and I am good to go even in a big storm system. I know some people use these for sleep but I wouldn't want to be without them before a thunderstorm is due in a couple hours.

I've been taking these for several weeks, one pill each day at bedtime. Having tried other sleep aids, this is the one I'll stick with. After a few days to get used to it, I find I get to sleep quicker and stay asleep longer. The only thing I would note is that it seems to be better at promoting deep rather than REM sleep. I still get a lot of REM but I get more deep and my sleep tracker says it should ideally be the other way around.

Let's face it, getting old is no picnic. This supplement adds whatever time and injury has taken away to this old body of mine, and helps me to be far less depressed than I was before I took it. It takes about a week to take effect - don't skip a day! I am glad I was able to find a vegan formula because I would refuse any formula made with animal products.

Recently off of 25mg Zoloft after tapering with 12.5mg for over a month. I had experienced "brain zaps" (Google it lol) when coming off of Lexapro a year ago, and I'm experiencing them again this year coming off Zoloft. These help temporarily when symptoms become noticeable (instant flashes of vertigo, mind racing/headachey, or muffled popping sounds). The first two days were worst, but they've slowly been dissipating and probably will take an entire year to fully stop. Because of my low dose and low risk of serotonin syndrome, I'm able to take about 5 of these a day. Anything over 500mg can start to get dangerous unless doctor directed. The research has shown it to be both effective & non effective (like usual!), so good luck! Mayo Clinic, the Kettering Cancer Center, Examine, Dr. Axe, and Labdoor all have good info on supplements. Be safe and do your research!

I usually don't rate supplements this early but this honestly made a noticeable difference from day 1 in terms of my mood. I moved from a sunny state to a cold one away from my friends and family and had a ton of stress. I was feeling pretty down and had seasonal depression on top of it. I gave this a try and felt instantly better after just the first day (rare), then continued feeling better as the days went on. Waited a full week before reviewing. Great success for my mood, really happy with it.

I have a lot of stress in my life such as a loved one dealing with cancer and chronic pain. I refuse to take any more prescriptions that ended up making things far worse for me. This wonderful product has made a very noticeable difference in the way that I feel. I feel much better as long as I take these regularly. I stopped taking these once for 2 weeks and I plummeted back down into depression and despair. They do not help pain (there are other herbs that do) but they do help mental well-being.

Initially I was taking 1 pill in the morning and 1 in the evening in desperate hopes this would help me deal with stress at work. Within a couple of weeks my stress and anxiety was skyrocketing up, I was also having trouble breathing and felt odd in other ways such as numbness in my cheeks and arms as if I were about to have a heart attack or stroke. I ended up taking PTO thinking it was just work related stress finally getting to me but even then I was still going insane and having to force myself to breathe; in that I was having to constantly do those deep inhales that you may only occasionally need to do. I stopped taking this and the following day I started feeling better, and after 3 days I was mostly normal. A week later I took 1 pill in the morning for a couple of days and noticed it was starting to happen again. Based on reviews and reading on this I can't say this would happen to you as everyone is different but that was a scary time for me. In retrospect I should have done significantly more research on this before taking.

I've been purchasing these for a over a year now, taking one a day. With my doctors approval, I use it along with an SSRI - I can take less of the latter this way. I am not able to completely replace the SSRI, but using the 5-htp with the SSRI (important! under doctor supervision!) is better all around for me than upping the dose of the SSRI. I've tried a number of brands, and this brand is among those that work best, and is the best value I've found. I can definitely tell a difference when I am using a brand that for whatever reason is not as effective.*Edit: Nov 6, 2017 -- Still only using this brand. Ran out and bought another brand in a drug store. Could tell the difference (negatively). Also read through the reviews of many other brands on here -- from both of those experiences, will stick with what works for me.

While these work very well, please be careful with these. I recently developed peripheral neuropathy and tested positive for B6 toxicity. These have 15 mg per capsule (which is 30 mg/day if you take 2) and when combined with the 3 mg in my multi-vitamin and all the chicken I eat I got sick. If you eat chicken, fish, lean beef, bananas, spinach and avocado you are already getting a ton of B6 and don't need it in a supplement. These capsules could defiantly take you over the top so I would not recommend them for those who might be prone to B6 toxicity.

Works great. Capsules tend to stay in tact during shipping. Great all around. Here are the specs: Doctor's Best 5-HTP enhanced with Vitamins B6 and C provides a drug-free support for sleep, mood, anxiety and stress5-HTP aids serotonin production; Serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, sexual desire, mood and appetiteSynthesis of serotonin in the brain requires an adequate supply of either tryptophan or 5-HTP as precursors in the central nervous systemVitamin B6 is necessary for the 5-HTP to be converted into serotonin and Vitamin C helps conversion of 5-HTP to serotoninNon-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan

I hope Doctor's Best makes this 5-HTP with B6 and C for the rest of my life. I try to be holistic as possible about managing my ADD and occasionally I can get into depression when events are transitioning. I have come so far but this supplement really, really helps. 5-HTP leads to more melatonin production which can help you sleep and therefore more have more energy during the day. It doesn't make me quite as fatigued as a melatonin supplement but 200mgs an hour before bed does help me relax and stay asleep which means more REM so this has really improved my ability to function and the stability of my mood. I also realized that after a decade of being on birth control pills it had really thrown my hormones out of whack. So many doctors have said, oh no, pills are tested you are fine with long term use but I finally met a dual holistic / medical doctor who specializes in female health and pills actually can throw off your hormones. It takes 3 months off of them to see how you are without them fully. I have one more month to go but already I think it has made a huge difference. We will see if I need these come month 4 but either way they are a life saver for now :). I also should say that I tried lots of different brands and types before finding these. Not all are created equal and some have different effects. Like the 200mg extended release from vitacost keeps me awake at night so try one until you figure out what works for you. I recommend this one of course!

I have been impressed with the quality of this brand of supplements and this 5-HTP is no exception. I was looking for something to help with relaxation and better sleep. 5HTP does the trick!5 HTP is a known serotonin precursor and this is what helps us with mood and relaxation. This company is also putting B6 and Vitamin C in with the 5HTP because these vitamins help 5HTP to convert to serotonin. I am not convinced that they actually help, as they cannot cross the blood brain barrier and this is why I am giving it a 4 instead of 5 star rating. However, if you are lacking in these supplements, it may be a real positive for you.I have found that taking this by late afternoon is the best timing for me. If I take it too late at night it actually energizes me instead of relaxing me. Maybe someone else out there would have the same response.

I polished off a bottle of the regular Dr's Best 5-htp and switched to this one. I was taking a B6 on the side with the first but after awhile, after the winter blues really kicked in, it stopped being effective, like, completely. I usually only took 2 a day instead of the recommeded 3 because I just hate dosing myself all day with countless supplements. it's just not natural. but they help, so I do it in moderation.Anyways, I noticed my mood has evelated a lot more with this blend. Maybe it's the C that makes difference.I also recently incorporated L-tyrosine which I highly recommend.

I took this product occasionally for insomnia and it helped on two counts: first, it did actually cause drowsiness for me (although much more slowly than some other products), and it helped me relax (although again the onset's a little slow, so if you're taking it for sleep keep that in mind).Also be aware: don't have a lot of protein right before you take it (tryptophan's a precursor of 5-HTP, it's redundant) and don't take this if you're on SSRIs.In any case, I wasn't taking this throughout the day, so that could be why, but I didn't really notice any effects of this other than the effects on my sleep.

First I must say that I am diagnosed with chronic insomnia and dysthymia.This was the second brand of 5htp that I've tried (with the first being CVS brand). You get a lot of pills in the bottle for the price but I didn't notice much from them, even at taking double the dose. When I took the CVS brand ones (too expensive), it didn't help me sleep better it instead just helped me get up out of bed in the morning and go about my day easier; which is a major step up for me because elsewise I would just lie there for hours. I didn't notice much of anything when I took these but my brother said that it made it more difficult for him to sleep through the night. He is much more sensitive to supplements than me; so if you are sensitive to supplements then these might be good for you depending upon what time you choose to take them.

I have taken other 5-HTP products in the past and not had good results. I am however noticing after taking the Doctor's Best for almost 2weeks now, I am noticing a marked difference in my mood swings... they are less frequent and much milder in nature. In all fairness, I also started taking Tongkat Ali, a natural testosterone booster and they may be working well together... I have great results with lovemaking with my wife, I attribute both products to that success. The potency in Doctor's Best is spot on and the quality is good... I would highly recommend this brand over others to you. Dennis in Oceanside (www.thevospergroup.com)
