  1. I've used melatonin for a while but now I live in a country where its
    sale is forbidden. I was considering 5-HTP as a viable alternative,
    considering that it is sold here for a fraction of melatonin's cost.
    I wonder if, because it is supposed to increase serotonin level, 5-HTp
    is better off ingested at morning time, when serotonin is more needed,
    or at bedtime. I am worried that, if I take it before going to bed, it
    may have a counterproductive effect.
    Thank you

  2. Good luck. Many people have nasty flushing and skin crawling reactions to
    this compound.

  3. If you live in Canada, I say smuggle it from the States.
    I think melatonin is safer than 5-HTP.

  4. It doesn't need to be smuggled into Canada. It is perfectly legal to import
    for personal usage.
