Mental Health Update

It was the fact of having to talk to three customers with chronic diarrhea in as many days (while dealing with my own) that prompted me to chase down the goods on a growing hunch about the 5-HTP/Big "D" connection. I spent an hour or so wading through the web pages delivered by the following search terms, alone and various combinations "5-HTP, antidepressants, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, motility, serotonin, side-effects, SSRI." What I found out was that medical researchers have a pretty clear understanding of something us folks in the supplement industry have barely grasped.
