Taking 5htp with L-dopa are OK because both are going to cross the blood brain barrier through the same enzyme. That way you don't foster a depletion of one or the other. If you want more of a certain neurotransmitter say Dopamine, then take more tyrosine. Thats how it works in the blood. Both proteins are present, just one usually has the dominance.
On another note, I've tried a supplement called Craniyums, and I'm surprised ive never seen more info online about it because I saw two of my family members go from stressed out to feeling great in under 20 minutes.
I believe the reason for this is because it is the only supplement known that uses the sublingual pathway to reach the brain. And apparently it works. The company brands it as a "dieting aid" to replenish neurotransmitters. Probly to avoid flack from greedy drug corporations.
