Alpha01's sunflower lecithin, organic guarana and 5-HTP gummies.
Important: if you take antidepressants or any other medication affecting serotonin, do not take 5-HTP without speaking to your GP first. That is a genuine interaction rather than a routine warning.
5-HTP is a compound the body uses in making serotonin, which is exactly why it must not be combined with medication that already acts on serotonin. That includes most antidepressants, some migraine medicines and tramadol.
Combining them can be dangerous. If you take anything in those categories, or are unsure whether you do, ask your GP or pharmacist before buying – it takes a minute and it genuinely matters. It is also not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Worth being plain about: guarana is a caffeine-containing seed, and 1000mg of it is a meaningful amount of caffeine. If you already drink coffee through the day, factor that in rather than adding it on top without thinking.
It is organic and it is a straightforward product. Just treat it as what it is – a stimulant – and avoid it late in the day if you would rather sleep.
Lecithin is a source of phospholipids and choline, extracted here from sunflower rather than soya, which suits anyone avoiding soya. It comes as 1200mg softgels.
There is no permitted health claim for lecithin, so we will describe it and stop. If you take prescribed medication, ask a pharmacist before adding any of these.
FAQ
Can I take 5-HTP with antidepressants?
No, not without speaking to your GP. 5-HTP acts on serotonin and combining it with medication that does the same can be dangerous.
Does guarana contain caffeine?
Yes – it is a caffeine-containing seed. Count it alongside whatever coffee or tea you already drink.
Why sunflower lecithin rather than soya?
It suits anyone avoiding soya. Otherwise it is the same category of product.
Can I take these in pregnancy?
5-HTP is not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask your midwife about anything else before starting.
