Calm in a Capsule
I've been taking Arazo 5-HTP supplements for about 6 weeks now, 2 capsules every day in the morning on an empty stomach. After about 30 mins, I generally feel a greater sense of well being, with less anxiety, and more 'gumption.' If my baseline mood is a '5', i would say taking 5-HTP raises me to a '7', so while not a drastic change, it is a change that very noticeable and pleasant. I would say 5-HTP is similar to CBD in its anxiety/depression relieving effects.
I haven't experienced any noticeable side effect, which is really nice. The capsules are average sized, and not any more challenging to swallow than any other capsule, with no aftertaste.
I also havent tried taking these as a sleep aid yet, mainly because i was more focused on the depression/anxiety relieving aspects of the supplement, but i think will try and compare this to melatonin sometime in the future.
Overall i am very satisfied with this supplement, this is one of the few things ive experienced that helps lift the fog of depression without adding any unwanted negative side effects.
