Availability of melatonin 5HTP?

Question

Is it legal to buy this in the UK?

Answer 1

Both hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) and melatonin are legal to purchase in the UK.

I personally have bought them from high street retail establishments, namely GNC, Holland and Barrett, Boots and Julian Graves.

Bloody expensive, but both very useful in overcoming jetlag.

Cheers.
