5-HTP

Medical Professionals talked about some of the research on the popular Doctor show on CBS and answered the question of how 5 HTP stacks up to all the other appetite suppressants she said, "The primary and most significant thing is the research showing how effective it is. With other appetite suppressants they'll have other ingredients or fillers that can make you sleepy or not feel so great because most of them are stimulants. The other positive benefits is an elevated mood and they sleep better, it all works together to make you feel really nice." One of the best parts about 5-HTP was the amount of research that has been conducted over a 30 year span.

Many of the studies show real weight loss through a natural decrease in caloric intake without dipping below a healthy amount of calories. The primary study cited looked at obese women who took 5-HTP before every meal, and compared it with women who took a placebo. The results showed women taking the real supplement ate 1,084 less calories every day and reported a decreased appetite.
