5 htp and Supplements

I renewed my membership to Costco. Initially, I was skeptical, until we walked through the medication section. Large bottles of Aleve, and supplements for a quarter of the price. My jaw dropped. Yeah, It was worth it. I spied a bottle of 5 htp , a supplement I have had my eye on and wanted to try. It states it helps increase serotonin.  I have been on it for about 6 days, and I notice little differences. I don't needlessly snack. I get wrapped up in things I am doing and want to finish them before eating.  No significant side effects, that I have noticed. I am not  over the wall with new enthusiasm ( although I have also been fighting a cold). via GIPHY  The directions tell me to take 1-2 2x a day with food.  I am currently on the lowest dose.  I am going to continue to see if it helps ( the majority of it is more than likely psychosomatic, but I am really OK with that.  Most things are ;))
