I read in a well-documented book that 5HTP (unto itself) will NOT help depression; you actually need the L-TRYPTOPHAN (which the well, I won't get into descriptives, just leave it at the FDA) banned in this country. The book was kind of technical but basically said that the body needs the tryptophan to convert to 5HTP and the whole process thereafter. And I had tried 5HTP years ago and it did NOTHING, nada for me. I went back to pharmaceutical meds.
