KavaKava vrs. 5htp

[Discord]

Which is better?

[oxide]

I have some kava kava on order from bouncing bear;

from what i know; kava kava is a mild sedative;it reduces anxiety and stress... 5-htp is metabolized as tryptophan -> seratonin..kava brew apparently tastes terrible and is hard to swallow; they're very different substances.. so i wouldn't really draw much of a comparison between the two..

i wouldn't really say one is better or worse..

they are both for anxity/depression. 5htp works like a charm, yet you have to take so many a day.

kava comes in pill form yet is still "under the counter" i use to take it, and I remember dreaming really strange... but I can't remember if it helped my anxity

I used to take kavakava b4 sleep.

Worked for a week then I become tolerant.

I take 5-HTP. It works great. After about a month, the "feel good all day" thing doesn't seem to be as effective, but I still sleep great. I am an insomniac, so that still works for me.

I've never heard of kavakava before. I might have to do some reading up on that.

i take 5-htp regularly and i really enjoy it

havent taken kava kava in years
so i would say 5-htp but then i guess it depends on the individual

when you eat too many Es does kavakava make your brain better too!?!?!?

If it is for treating depression/anxiety you should try anti-depressants.

If you are looking to go a more natural route...try a combination of Phenylalanine and Tyrosine.

Jess i also take tyrosine and am very happy with the results

also 5-htp is also clinically proven to fight depression and anxiety
due to the fact seratonin makes u happier and calmer

Good.

Try looking into Phenylalanine as well. The two work hand in hand.
