1. Suntheanine® L-Theanine 200mg (Double-Strength) in Cold-Pressed Organic Coconut Oil; Non-GMO & Gluten Free - 60 Liquid Softgel

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - Love it!
I suffer with chronic anxiety and have been on a prescription for years, which I just discovered an allergic reaction to. I stopped taking the prescription, but was still suffering with anxiety and OCD. After reading the phenomenal reviews, I decided to give this a try. I am so glad that I did. It works great! I take one in the morning with a full glass of water, with my morning coffee shortly after and I feel more relaxed, focused, and able to manage the days activities. I would recommend this to anyone with anxiety or OCD issues. I will be ordering more. Thank you sports research.
5.0 - healthier alternative to prescription medications
While having trouble with combinations of worsening anxiety and OCD as well as post-partum depression, a good friend recommended this supplement to me as a more immediate solution for panic/anxiety/depression as opposed to St. John's Wort which takes time to be incorporated into your system.
5.0 - It's been amazing!
Bottom line, this stuff works. I have OCD and have regular anxiety. This basically eliminates all feelings of anxiety. It's been amazing!
5.0 - It actually works
I am shocked that this actually works. I've never been a supplement-taker, and am generally wary of things like this. I've suffered from generalized anxiety, OCD, and panic disorder for my whole life. I'm on a cocktail of antidepressants, but still had panic attacks somewhat regularly. My therapist recommended this and I figured I might as well try it--I was shocked to realize that once I started taking one pill every morning, my panic attacks ceased. I've had one in the past month, which is AMAZING for me. Unmedicated I have them multiple times per day and on medication I usually have one every week or two. Since I started taking Theanine, the difference is amazing. I still have anxiety but it doesn't reach those peaks of panic. My partner takes it too and has noticed a big difference. I'm recommending this to everyone!
5.0 - Healthier than wine!
I've always been a Type A sort of person: energetic, OCD, perfectionist. People are often disappointing and I find myself getting critical and angry often. I feel Suntheanine helps me to have better tolerance, and I love that it's non-GMO with organic coconut oil. Thanks for a great product!

2. Natrol 5-HTP Time Release Tablets, 200mg, 30 Count

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - Love it.
5HTP 100mg is very good for everyone. Okay, maybe not everyone but an increase in serotonin changes a lot of people. It builds confidence, decreases appetite and makes you a lot more cheerful. I have prescribed this to numerous patients (even though you don't need a prescription for this) and it's changed many lives' in a positive way. If you are depressed or have OCD or less serotonin in general I highly recommend this.
5.0 - Previous Effexor User
As someone who has struggled with major mood swing, PMS and OCD most of my adult life I gave in several years ago and started taking Effexor because I was getting on my own nerves. Although it did help me 100% the side effects were horrible if I missed a dose. I decided I didn't want to feel dependent on a medicine like that anymore and it took me 6 months to wean off of it. Brain zaps. nausea, shaking, you name it and I experienced it from the withdrawals. I recently started feeling like I needed something again and decided to purchase 5-HTP based off of research and product reviews. I initially took half a dose about 30 mins before bed because I wasn't really sure what the side effects would be since it was new to my system. I can say that it really does help to settle my crazy restless mind at just 100mg and for the first time in months I was able to sleep so so. Not awesome but better than usual. After three days I started taking the 200mg dosage at bedtime. I honestly feel normal I guess you can say. My sleep isn't soundly and all night but I am sleeping better. I know how the Effexor made me feel and this is similar. I am not near as moody or obsessive about the order of things. I honestly just think I am one of these people who have some wacky chemically imbalanced brain and I need to forever take something to just feel human. If I forget to take one I don't feel ill like I did with Effexor so I feel confident that I could just cold turkey stop them if I ever wanted to and not have horrible withdrawals. Everyone is different but for me I will continue to take these because they really seem to help stabilize me.

5.0 - This stuff worked for us!
This product really did work for my husband and I. He used to have ocd and as the years went on he lost it. Well this weekend it stated again, I'm serious!!! And the only thing that has changed is taking this pill! I can't wait to get my free bottle!

5.0 - Amazing product
All I can say is I am so grateful that I chose this product. Nu-Clarity. I have ADHD from childhood. I also have anxiety and OCD. The OCD is a comorbidity of the ADHD. It’s more organizational in nature. I’m not the germaphobe type . I have taken various pharmaceutical drugs over the years. Adderall helped me the most but I had some odd side effects from it. I finally settled on Lexapro (name brand) not generic, as I have reactions to the binders in many drugs. The lexapro never really helped me focus. However it made me Not care that I couldn’t focus, if that makes sense. It also helped slow the rapid firing of my thoughts. After 5 years I wanted to stop taking it and felt ready to go a more natural route. It was not easy getting off the Lexapro and I allowed myself months to taper. After a few months of being off of it my anxiety slowly began to creep back , I felt all-over the place, I was forgetting things , misplacing everything and I wasn’t too happy. It seemed that everyday was a challenge. I thought about going back on the lexapro but before I did I thought “What do I have to lose?” By trying something else first. I had done a lot of reading on nootropics and read through many different testimonials and carefully read through the ingredients in several different ones. I guess I got really really lucky in the first try with Nu-Clarity. The day it came I was at wits end. I had left my apartment in NYC and forgot my keys. It’s so disheartening to be so forgetful and all over the place. Honestly, I didn’t have much hope but I was happy to try anything other than prescription meds. The first day I took two capsules with food I felt really sleepy. But I felt calm and focused. Like really calm. I didn’t let the fact that it made me sleepy deter me from continuing. Sometimes the body needs to get adjusted. I’m truly ADHD so often supplements or medications that are intended to wake one up will make me calm. So, I kept taking it. It’s almost one week later and all I can say is I can only hope that this continues to work. I feel so focused. I don’t feel anxious and everyday has been a “good” day since I started taking these. I can assure you that for me, this no placebo case. I have leaned over the years to carefully observe what makes me stressed so I can navigate around the triggers or work with them. One of the things is my dreaded mornings in which I wake up feeling like someone hit me in the head with a brick . I am not feeling that way since I began taking this supplement. I wake up everyday and want to talk. Huh? Who is this person. Another thing I noticed is that my boyfriends alarm on his iPad that gets us up every morning is not making my heart pound out of my chest. It’s almost as if this supplement has me calm, focused, less reactive, I'm completing tasks (like this review). I never write reviews. I feel like it’s work and I should be paid to write them. However, this review came with ease. I feel positive and so happy I found this particular nootropic. Hoping I hit the jackpot on my first try. Also hoping it continues to be as effective as it is now . I’m also taking high potency omega 3 with it . Thank you CEO of Cognitune! You’ve got a gem of a supplement here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. One more thing , I’m getting ready so fast (less than half of the time) that I stand there in disbelief. Maybe this is what it’s like to be “normal “ and not have ADHD. A+++++ for Nu-Clarity.

5.0 - These have really increased my energy, while making me ...
These have really increased my energy, while making me calmer at the same time! I have suffered from OCD my whole life and this often comes with anxiety and depression. This supplement has alleviated some of these symptoms substantially. Additionally, these really help increase stamina while working out, or surfing in my case!
5.0 - GREAT STUFF highly recommend
I love this stuff so happy I found it. I've had a problem with sweating excessively for more than 10 years now and Now Foods, Eleuthero 500 mg helps so much. It says to take 2 capsules up to twice a day, this very effective, however I found for me if I take 3 to 4 twice a day results are the best. I should also note that I have social anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD, I've noticed a slight effect helping with my anxiety after starting taking these pills.

6. BRI Nutrition 5 HTP 100mg 240 Vegetarian Capsule - 5HTP Supplement to Support Depression & Anxiety Relief/Boosts Serotonin Production/Sleep Aid

View this supplement on Amazon.com →

5.0 - Helps with my depression and has other benefits as well
I have suffered from bouts of depression in the past. I have also been diagnosed as ADD with OCD tendencies. I manage, but prefer to avoid any actual ADD medication (as I do not trust it), instead choosing to simply deal with it, and utilize lifestyle changes and supplements that benefit me in a variety of ways. Taking 5-HTP is useful for dealing with things like depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD and related conditions. It has helped me in day to day life dealing with the bouts of depression, and seems to assist in other ways. It actually has additional benefits in reducing snacking and cravings as well, which is a nice little bonus as I have been known to be a snacker.
5.0 - 5-HTP
This is the first time I have tried 5-HTP. I am one of the lucky adults that was diagnosed with ADD & OCD at a young age...and it just never went away. My stress levels are constantly through the roof, causing anxiety, sleepless nights and some pretty intense mood swings. I didn't want to get on ANOTHER Rx that I would either become dependent on or would throw my chemistry out of whack and start the vicious cycle of - Oh it fixed this...but now I need another med. to counteract the one side effect that it gave me - That's no fun. So I did some research for a few months on natural ways to help improve all of my struggles. I read about this supplement called 5-HTP - and researched all of the pros, cons and success stories from others. And - best of all - that it was available in stores! Went around to a bunch of different pharmacies and for a bottle of #30 or even #60 @50mg, the bottles were $18+. I just cant justify spending that on myself every month. Then I came across these from BRI Nutrition - great price for #120 pills @100mg! I gave these pills a fill 3 weeks before I did my review because I knew that 'my time of the month' would be the true test. These pills worked exactly how they were supposed to. I was getting better rest at night, I wasn't waking up all drowsy and frustrated. I felt like during the day I was able to focus better and during 'that time of the month', I didn't have the cravings of a 8 month pregnant woman lol. I would definitely suggest giving these a try if you are looking for more of a natural way to give your body that extra boost.

5.0 - It really works.. not a scam.
I was not compensated at all for this review. I was weary to try this because of some of the reviews but it works! I was desperate for a natural help with my anxiety and OCD. I take 2 of these and 2 st johns wort every day and have been for about a month. The results have been amazing.much better than I felt while I was on lexapro. Give it a try!
5.0 - bye bye stress
these are not a miracle cure but they have been helping with my ocd/anxiety symptoms a lot. i am on my third bottle. i notice my pms sadness is not as bad too wich is a blessing!

5.0 - Essential, Critical, Cannot Live Without--It Does Work
I cannot live without this product. Specifically this brand and one other brand. It took about three weeks for me to notice a different in my moods, disposition and behaviors. I'm what they used to call a "Type-A" personality, whether that stands for "ass" or "aggressive," I don' t know. What I do know is that I can tell the difference after my build-up period (two to four weeks according to the maker) in my everyday routine. For example, I have a specific anxiety disorder and a mild case of OCD. This St. John's Wort nailed them both down. I take two capsules a day, one at night and one in the morning, or sometimes two at night. Taking more could be--dangerous, as St. John's Wort has a direct action on Serotonin and re-uptake inhibitors, which is why you cannot take this product if you are currently taking anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications. Since this product does not produce the undesirable side effect that my former Citolopram did (cannot achieve orgasm), I gave up on my prescription and take this St. John's Wort. I actually need it, and what's more, it's cheaper than my prescription. Specific benefits that I have directly noticed (and others have noticed, too) are:

5.0 - Cure for my ADHD and OCD!
Excellent product. I have used many brain boosters before such as racetams, Choline, Provigil. They all seem to lose affect after a while. I have tried other natural supplements too; Vitamin B, Fish oil, Chia Seeds, Pumkin seeds, but their effects are limited. After a while I stopped using them all. I did however, managed to lose 30 lbs while I was on racetams and Provigil, but they did not increase my IQ at all. Then I saw some reviews about Neuro Clarity and decided to give it a try and its effect was mild at first, I was more focus and was happy all the time. I thought the feeling wont last, but not true even after two weeks of taking it I am still very much feel the same. I take one capsule in the morning and it boost my natural energy like caffeine. I feel like more focus at work and I don't need to nap as often. The company is very generous too, they actually give me a bottle of their product if I were to give a review of my experience with Neuro Clarity. Now I was going to review this product regardless of their offer, so this is kind of bonus review. I stand by everything I have described about this product. All all the brain supplements I have tried this seems to be the most effective. If you want to increase your IQ eating 5 lbs of fruit and vegetable and work out 2 hours a day is your best option. But if you just want more focus and energy without extra routines in your life, this and Reishi Mushroom powder are the product to go with.
