Nutricost 5-HTP
5-HTP capsules with 200 mg each and 120 servings a bottle
This is Nutricost's 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) at 200 mg per capsule. The label suggests one capsule a day, so a 120-capsule bottle lasts about four months. The capsules are vegetarian, gluten-free and non-GMO, and the label says they're third-party tested.
5-HTP is the step between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin: the body makes 5-HTP from tryptophan and then uses it to make serotonin. Because it sits on that pathway, talk to your doctor before taking it alongside any medication that affects serotonin.

What is 5-HTP?

Can I take 5-HTP with my medication?
Check with your doctor first, especially if you take an antidepressant or anything else that affects serotonin. A peer-reviewed safety review names combining 5-HTP with those medications as the main safety concern.
