Well, it comes in different forms, I thikn the basic ingredient is tryptophan, but 5HTP is Hydroxytryptophan, which tryptophan is derived from. It seems you shouldnt have B6 with it. I got it from a good health shop here (regular chemists didnt have it). Its definetly made him sleepy because the one he has comes in a capsule with added Magnesium (also good for brains) and Valerian Root (a natural sleep remedy).
Theres loads of info on the UK Google on 5HTP? Sorry the St Johns Wort isnt working Mish, I thikn it doesnt often (it didnt for me, whereas Bach Flower Remedies did, years ago when I once had clinical depression with panic attacks). We didnt get it for bf as its expensive and seems to only work for some poeple!
You should definetly try Selenium though? 200 mg capsule, or 2-5 Brazil nuts daily xx
