I take quite a few supplements. These days before I buy anything new I Google the name of the supplement and AFib to see if I get any legitimate hits.
Wanting to try a new sleep aid that has 25 mg of 5-HTP I was surprised to see a few references that said 5-HTP was a trigger for some. Because it helps people to relax this surprised me.
Does anyone here have a problem with 5-HTP? Does anyone successfully use it regularly?

It's not anything to do with relaxing. It's to do with the chemical in the supplement which might trigger af . If some people have this reaction to the supplement , take heed.
Be well

I've tried 5-HTP because I have galloping insomnia. I can't say I noticed that it affected my AF at all, though it also didn't help me to sleep... One of those things that may affect some and not others I guess!
I can't say I use it often. I do use 5http when I have issues sleeping and it works for me. If I take 2 it's hard to get up the next day, sleepy. My wife needs 2 to get same effect I get from 1, so each person is different as we know for so many other substances.
