Hi has anyone tried the supplement 5HTP it’s supposed to be a natural serotonin from what I understand. I suffer with ocd and anxiety and also find it difficult to sleep and thought this might be worth a try. Interested to see if anyone else has found benefits ?

Its very good. I started using it for PMS and find it helpful for anxiety

Thks frozenintime I bought solgar complex brand which has valerian and b6 in it but I’m concerned that I already take B complex so could you tell me your brand and dose is if you don’t mind ? I have been taking 2 at bedtime for 3 nights when I also take HRT magnesium zinc supplements snd ashwangada wondering if I’m over doing it !! In the morning I take B complex omegas and turmeric all in to help with peri menopause and anxiety !!

I'm so sorry to hear that. The pukka bedtime tea is also really good but of course check the ingredients incase they don't work well with anything else xxx
