Natural Serotonin Boost

[Lottie32]

Don't know if anybody can help, or if I've dreamt this, but I'm sure that I have seen reference to a herbal supplement that boosts the serotonin levels in the body.[?]

Does anybody know what this supplement is? (Or have I just dreamt it)

Also, does anybody know when Kava Kava is going to be back on sale?

Thanks

Charlie

Hiya Charlie,

As far as I am aware Kava Kava is not back on sale!

Thanks Nick

Will give it a try.

Lucky - I "did" kava kava, and I'm not sure that it did anything at all. (Or maybe I was too far gone down the negative thinking track for anything to work!)

Hi Charlie,

I used Kava Kava a couple of years ago and I felt it did help a lot but I stopped using when it was taken off the market!!

whats this new herbal drug you are talking about?? Ive never heard of it, what does it do?

Try www.sjwinfo.org for opinions and info on 5-htp and Gaba which is another booster.

haven't got a clue, just remember reading in a magazine about a herbal supplement which was supposed to have a similar effect on serotonin levels as prozac etc. Unfortunately I was going through a bad couple of days, and it didn't really register at the time. When I finally got my head together, I couldn't remember what magazine it had been in, or indeed where i had been when i had read it!

just thought that it might be worth a try, and was trying to stave off the Xmas pit of despair!!!!! (Which didn't work)

Love

Charlie

Charlie,

Dont worry, Ive done the same so many times before too... I've read something somewhere I thought 'thats really helpful', forgot about it and then dont remember where I saw it in the 1st place!!! oh, we do like to make things harder for ourselves sometimes dont we!!
