First of all, i opted for NOW's 50mg dosage as opposed to the 100mg capsules. After reading several reports on it, it seemed wise to start off with a lower-dose. Also, the fact it had only 90 caps as opposed to 120 made sense...Just in case the product didnt agree with me, i wouldnt have wasted as much money. Ok that being said, lets move on.
I always have had issues with sleep and this helped me not only fall asleep faster but i was able to stay asleep longer.
I awoke refreshed and energized after 9 hours.
I took 50 mg 5-HTP with 3 capsules of ZMA and Solaray Sleep Blend, which contains Valerian, Hops, Skullcap, passionflower just to name a few.
3 hours later, i awoke but was able to easilly fall back asleep. Dreams were EXTREMELY vivid and memorable.
Unlike ZMA induced dreams, these were actually detailed and remarkable as i was able to recall specific events that took place within the dream.
When i woke up at 5am, i was not groggy and rushing towards my coffee as usual. I was actually able to take the puppy out for her walk and play with her afterwards all before my first cup, which i must say is unusal for me. lol.
This IS a good product. I just hope its effects will be sustainable so that i may reap its benefits without higher dosages down the road. 5 out of 5. |
