A few years ago I discovered 5-htp which helps elevate your serotonin levels in your brain which allows you to have a sense of well being.
I personally ONLY use it when I feel like I might be going into what is called "Clinical depression" from things like Living through Covid for 2 years or thinking Putin is going to nuke us all sometime in the next 5 years or something like this.
So, for me, I only take one of these about every 6 months to a year. Why so seldom?
I'm thinking that it's sort of like Coffee. If you drink it all the time your body gets used to it so you have to drink more and more for the same effect. So, I save 5-htp for actual emergencies in my life to elevate my serotonin when someone died that I loved and knew for all my life or something like this. Or I just cannot pull myself into a good headspace with a feeling of well being any other way.
During crises like wars, covid, divorce or death of a loved one we need some way to prevent us from going into what is called "Clinical depression" which is when your brain changes the way it creates chemicals and then this is very problematic to one choosing to stay alive.
5-htp is one of the chain of chemicals in the brain related to serotonin production. So, taking one of these helps you pull out of depression often and you regain the normal chemical balance in your brain which allows you to potentially have a "Sense of well being" in your every day life ongoing.
I started learning about things like this the last time I went through a really bad divorce which was in 1994. I remarried in 1995 so I was able to find a way to pull out of the really serious depression that divorce can put you through.
I find that the nearest thing to divorce is someone you love dying. That's the only thing I can compare divorce to. And if any children are involved in this divorce this is just then 10 times or more worse.
And dealing with death or divorce takes at least 2 to 5 years to fully emotionally recover from and many people never recover or even date anyone else ever again after their divorce.
I usually use the NOW 5-HTP at 100 mg. a capsule
