What?! and Why?!
This page explains what site entails; the methods, criteria, and scope of my research; and the purpose for this blog.
The Method to My Madness
I suffer from bipolar disorder but that doesn’t necessarily mean I am totally crazy. :) During my extensive research on the quest to evaluate what 5-HTP supplements could offer me, I came up with the idea to compile all of the information I found into one location and simplify it into useable information. I noticed, too, that many people shared my confusion over conflicting data and complicated terminology. So, creating a blog all about 5-HTP supplements to share with the world made the most sense to me.
The most appropriate and responsible way to do this, in my opinion, was to find as many credible sources as possible, translate the jargon, and assemble the most consistent information. Based on my findings, I also wanted to address the most common concerns, questions, and misconceptions that I came across the most. If my work helps just one person looking to 5-HTP supplements for help with their problems then the effort was well worth it.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of 5-HTP Facts and Myths Data Search is to translate medical & chemical terminology, clarify & update existing web data, and inform potential consumers of known facts & misconceptions. Additionally, and more importantly, the site includes a forum for interested individuals to evaluate the brands, uses/purposes, side effects (short- and long-term), interactions, dosages, risks, and benefits of 5-HTP based on consistent, controlled feedback from consumers who have used this supplement. The ultimate goal of 5-HTP Facts and Myths Data Search is to enable appropriate researching of 5-HTP for personal use and determine its likely results for individuals, based on the most simplified, accurate data available.
