Quite a few people I meet at raves want 5htp but have no credit card or can not be bothered ordering it in, but want 5htp.
There are 2 sources of 5htp in food that I have found that work for me.
Bananas contain a medium amount ( I am guessing about 8mg for a medium sized banana) , and turkey, which I am guessing about 50mg in a turkey drumstick, or turkey breast fillet. If you do no want to go through moody mondays, or terrible tuesdays, then eat turkey for dinner, especially sunday and monday night, and eat lots of bananas through out the day.
I found that if I eat turkey for lunch, I get too sedated from the seratonin effect, so it is better for dinner, so the seratonin boost is used for a good nights sleep.
5htp is much better absorbed in the brain with no other protein, so eat the turkey with vegetables only, (an oven roast is a good idea). And eat bananas by them self, (eg. no milk or soy) on an empty stomach for maximum effect.
