Does anyone know where I could get 5-HTP in Australia? If I order it over the net is it likely to make it here? Or will it be intercepted coz I don't have a prescription?
Please do a search, this topic has been covered many times and there is very useful information contained in those threads.

5-HTP is sold in very limited areas of Australia, and is very very expensive (ten times) more than is sold overseas. You are better off to import some.

5-HTP is legal to import into Australia as long as you order no more than a three month supply. 5-HTP does not have an established RDI so you could safely order in 500x100mg caps. It may be opened by customs but should not be stopped. You may also have to pay import duty, however this is not always the case.
^^^ I was directed to a vitimans website where they have 60X100mg 5htp for US$9.95. I'll try to find it and post.... though I'm not sure if we're allowed to post sites?
Mods?
{edit. Completly misread price and dose}

I find clubnatural.com to be quite good... They're the cheapest of the major sites, and often have discounts, both in bulk and for "specials"
(I'm in Sydney)
5-htp is best to get enteric coated is it not?
so that it actually doesnt get broken down totally in stomach...
what is the general opinion on enteric coated 5-htp?
I usually make sure my capsules are enteric coated, and these are harder to come by than usual.
There is one site that offers that, that I have used - www.antiaging-systems.com
Oh.... and ordering from www.vitacost.com is a JOKE!! just warning.
they tried to charge me $80 dollars US for delivery charges to sydney!!
WTF?!
anyway i told them they MUST be mistaken, as I was only ordering ONE bottle of DLPA and teh mean cost of delievry charges elsewhere are about $15 and then they apologized and said the reviewed charges were going to be$79. I mean the product itself cost $12. seventy nine dollars delivery?!!
I was not Happy!
HOW dodgy!!
