Pros: Works immediately, not habit forming Cons: None
"Doctors had tried just about every anti-depressant on the market such as Lexapro, Wellbutrin etc. for my depression. None of them worked. I felt worse after taking them. I found Jigsaw through an internet search and gave it a try. It literally gave me back my life. Within two days I was smiling again and I feel like a whole new person. I cannot say enough about this product. This led me to try the Emotional Wellness Bundle and it' simply great. From where I was to where I am, it's a living miracle. I prayed for something like this and I found it! Thank you for saving my life."

Pros: It's ALL good. Cons: None that I can detect.
"I've been on a holistic quest since I was in my early 30's. That must be why my body responded soooo quickly to the 5-HTP product. I have been using this item for 48 hours now, and I can truly discern immediate relief and a sense of overall improvement that I didn't think possible in such a small amount time. I'm sure it has something to do with the quality of the ingredients and the answer to prayers. My sincere thanks to your company for developing this supplement. I look forward to feeling like my younger, joyful self in no time. Sincerely, JJ in GA."

Pros: Helped me feel much better, mentally. Noticed I was not as depressed as prior to taking this supplement. Cons: None
"To find this product was a god-send. It has helped me immensely to cope with depression and anxiety. Even though I'm taking a course to resolve my depression/anxiety, this has been fabulous for the interim. Currently, I plan on continuing with this supplement indefinitely, that's how much it has benefited me."

Pros: All natural Cons: none
"I have been on this product for 1 month now. I started with 2 capsules a day for the first week and then 1 capsule a day there after. I have never taken an anti-depressant but through a very tough time in my life it was recommended to just take the edge off to help me cope. I have a very sensitive system and 99.9% of the time will have some adverse side effect that is just ugly with chemicals and or herbs. Because of this I decided to see if there was a natural substance that I could take in its place. I did my research and there are many products but none that are the pure product. I can not take anything with soy and while the world is embracing soy as the new miracle food for everything; there are some of us who could die from it... So after only a month I have been able to let all the little things in life go; and I am sleeping again! I can now concentrate on getting through this very difficult time in my life and not sweat the small stuff. I will update this in a few months but for now I think this is something I will actually want to continue as the results have been a blessing."

Pros: Affordable, very effective, and a perfect natural alternative to pharmaceuticals. Cons: none
"After 6 months of taking 200mg daily of 5-HTP, I am able to report how pleased I am with the results. In the past I have taken antidepressants which tend to have other side affects. 5-HTP, being an amino acid which boosts the brain's ability to produce its own seritonin, actually fixes the problem of low seritonin rather than masking it as do SSRI's. Jigsaw Health is a very reliable source and offers a great price on 5-HTP. On my recommendation friends and family are using it also and feel 5-HTP is very effective and affordable!"

Pros: Purity, no unnecessary fillers, excellent form of calcium. Cons: Gelatin Capsule
"Excellent product! The only negative is that you don't offer the product in a vegetable capsule. I try to avoid gelatin capsules because of the excitotoxins and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy risk. I would gladly pay more for the V-Caps."

"I shopped around for this product and several others on various websites including Life Extension which was where I used to get it, and you price was much less, I got the product much more quickly and with much more friendly service. It is just as effective and at a much lower price. Thanks so much."

"Long ago I learned that tryptophan could help me and then they took it off the market because of a bad batch made in Japan. Later 5-HTP became readily available. According to many researchers it is a more direct way to increase levels of serotonin because 5-HTP is only one biochemical step away. It can cause stomach cramping though if you take too much and it is OK to take with food. There are a lot of 5-HTP products out there that are not pure. Ours is extremely pure!"
