Yo, Joeseph. I think you are confused. They just listed the serving size as 1/4 teaspoon beacause they always use that size. Then they tell you that 1/4 teaspoon of 5-htp weighs 380 mg as a reference. There is no agreed upon serving size for 5htp.
Most supps are not 100% pure, but they are close. When bulk sells a supp that isn't close to 100% they tell you what the % is. I seriously doubt that bulk's 5-htp is only 25% 5-htp, and that it is any different than the 5-htp put in other companies supps.
That being said, 5-htp is nice. I cap mine to save money. Now's 5-htp is also pretty cheap, especially compared to buying it at a grocery store.
I dont know why you would even bother putting it in a glass of water, just dump a little bit into your mouth or under your tongue. Also, when you buy a capsule of 5-htp, they add rice powder so it isn't 80% air, and that is probably why you think 5-htp is water soluable. |
