How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Take in the morning on an empty stomach — it can be activating and may disturb sleep later in the day.
On an empty stomach
Space it a couple of hours from 5-HTP
On the label
1 tablet 1 to 3 times daily. Take tablets on an empty stomach.
Do not combine with St. John's Wort
Each of these raises serotonin activity on top of St. John's Wort, and together they can trigger serotonin syndrome — agitation, rapid heartbeat, raised blood pressure. Not without medical supervision.
