5-HTP: A supplement that raises serotonin, helps you relax and sleep

[Limerencel]

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the immediate precursor of serotonin.
Having healthy serotonin levels helps with mood, depression, anxiety and sleep.

5-HTP is available over the counter.
I take a 200mg pill an hour or two before sleep, every night. It makes me calmer and helps me fall asleep faster.
It's quite effective, and your body does not build tolerance or dependancy for it, so you will not need a higher dosage after using it for a while - unlike Melatonine or Benzodiazepines, which should only be taken for a few days or weeks.
You can take 5-HTP with or without a meal, so there is no need to take it on an empty stomache.
5-HTP pases the blood-brain barrier easily, and around 70% of the dosage will end up in your bloodstream.

Smoking weed might have some negative side-effects long term.
