Fighting for my life trying to dodge every lifestyle self improvement alternative medicine i wanna sell u shit website while searching for reliable sources on griffonia extract and the effectiveness of 5-htp irt depression treatment

#im like that gif of the wizard dodging arrows #what i did find out so far is that it does indeed boost serotonin production bc it is a precursor to it #HOWEVER. the most common critique i found is that the evidence irt to depression treatment is kind of shaky #bc many of the studies that were done are questionably reliable bc of e.g. things like lack of placebo control group or small sample size #not to mention just boosting serotonin levels is not the one way to treat depression that reliably works for #everyone #obvious conclusion is talk to a doctor u trust abt this stuff dont order pricey supplements that make suspiciously big #promises #ok that was todays episode of layman tries to navigate suspicious supplement advertisements #sel talks
