Solgar 5-htp

[boroboy77]

hi,

recently started taking solgar 5-htp. now, the label says the capsules are wheat-free, which may indicate gluten-free, but im not 100% sure...

whilst googling i found something giving a list of solgar's products containing gluten, hence everything else is gluten-free (5-htp wasnt on the gluten-containing list). however the post dated back to '05 so im wondering if anyone could tell me if solgar 5-htp is still indeed gluten-free

thank you very much and God Bless ;-)

I am not familiar with that. Sorry I cannot help.

If a product indicates wheat free, it is not a guarantee that it is gluten free.

Compliment gratefully accepted.

But what is Solgar 5-htp? Perhaps others will know.

I get mine from the Vitamin Shoppe (comes with B6 to aid absorption) or from Whole Foods, both of which say they are gluten free. I haven't bought the Solaray brand.

if im not to late 5-Hydroxytryptophan is a "natural" SSRI, and from what i understand it is not effective unless enteric coated. I was also told although B6 is usefull it should be taken at a differnet time then 5-HTP
