First of all serotonin = high doesn't equal feeling good. This is a extremly complicated process and it's actually much more about balance than levels.
Second i want you to write down the ingredients of the supplements you are taking. Also take note of the amount. Then take your notes with you to a store and look at a can of Super Gainers Fuel or more or less any protein powder used for building muscle or losing fat. I think you will find that it contains more or less exactly what you are taking only it's much cheaper and comes in much higher levels in the protein powder. Exclude 5-HTP since it's not found naturally in milk/egg products.
Third: Is anything on TV-shop ever as good as they make it sound. After watching those commercials a couple of times even i wanna go buy the ab-swing or the fat-buster and the flying-blinking-super-lure. They(TV-Shop) and this doctor that can do those amazing things are pretty much the same people. But while TV-Shop brainwashes you the "good" doctor offers you something very powerful called placebo.
This is what i believe. Take supplements. They are good for you. But dont buy them from the doctor that offers them(or the AMWAY he is part of). In the end it's really up to you but my nose smells a scam here.
