IIRC 5-HTP metabolizes into something which metabolizes into melatonin, which is basically worthless to try and force yourself to generate
Just turn the lights off and close the blinds nigga, melatonin is free

5-htp is a serotonin precursor, not a melatonin one

i met the family behind now foods and they dont take anything but the most basic supplements if they are deemed deficient by bloodwork. you'd think those people would be super into the lifestyle but no. the supplement and health craze of the 21st century will be seen as a super silly craze in the future

A lot of "supplements", like this one, are just OTC drugs. No one would buy 5-HTP if SSRIs were OTC. So saying this is a "super silly craze" is like saying drugs are.
