5HTP + Multivitamin (One a day)

[rypieNGG]

I rolled yesterday and I'm slowly trying to recover.
Is it ok if I'm taking 5HTP and also multivitamins. Can they mix?

Yup. A multivitamin and 5htp are fine together.

Take the 5-HTP before you go to sleep and the multivitamin with breakfast

I just started taking 5HTP 4 pills a day. 2 When I wake up and 2 at night they are 50-60 mg pills. I will be adding multi vitamins in my morning meals.

Is this how I should be taking my 5HTP? It says recommended 2-3 times a day 1-2 pills each dosage. And I should slowly increase to an effective dose. Whats an effective dose?

When should I take 5-HTP?
It is really down to personal preference, although 5-HTP is metabolised into 5-HT quite quickly (less than an hour) so anything over a day before really won’t be helping much. Others will only take it after taking MDMA. Because of the nature of the subject there are no official guidelines but as a general rule 200mg after a night out and 100-150mg for a few days afterwards is the norm. You should adjust this as you see fit dependent on body size, etc.

Green tea or green tea extract (EGCG and EGC) inhibit the dopa decarboxylase enzyme responsible for the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin in the gut.
