Like Murray, Sahelian’s book covers all the myriad of well established uses for 5-HTP including: 1) losing weight (and suppressing carbohydrate food cravings), 2) mood elevation (alleviating depression), 3) promoting calmness (diminishing anxiety), 4) reducing obsessiveness and compulsiveness (OCD), 5) diminishing a broad range of fibromyalgia symptoms, and 6) enhancing sleep (treating insomnia). It also mentions less established but no less important applications of 5-HTP to 1) treating alcoholism, 2) alleviating migraine headaches, 3) reducing premenstrual syndrome (PMS), 4) reducing attention deficits and hyperactivity, 5) treating autism, and much more. Sahelian’s inclusion of information about nutrients and herbs other than 5-HTP which may help with these conditions and possibly enhance the activity of 5-HTP is a very nice touch.
One of Sahelian’s exceptional chapters is his discussion of the many practical variables that can influence 5-HTP’s effectiveness: when to take it, what to take it with, how much to take, whether to take it with meals or on an empty stomach, whether to take it with caffeine, how to minimize daytime sleepiness, how to avoid tolerance, how to incorporate other supplements with 5-HTP, and whether to take vitamin B-6 with 5-HTP.
