I see that the pulp of Sea Buckthorn has 5htp and can be quite powerful and that Graviola has ssri properties. Has anyone had any experiences good or bad?

> Graviola has ssri properties
Really? I didn't know that. It is relaxing but not dramatic. I took 1g, always at nights.

I don't know anything abot the buckthorn. Graviola is the plant 5htp capsules are made from. I didn't even know you could get the plant itself, and I have no idea what other benefits the whole plant might have, if any, but 5htp is basically graviola in a consistent measurable dosage form.

Very interesting. Yes the graviola seed contains 5htp? Seabuckthorn juice is very powerful. A nice effect so far.

I find cautions regarding graviola and conditions involving nerve function, like Parkinson's disease. Wiki mentions Parkinson's as well.

Yes, but soursop is a food.
Then there are the different parts of the plant that are eaten.
I have read that too.

There is sea buckthorn with a hyphen and without, on wiki at least.
This is the one you mean?

Yes, I think the caution is in place for those who use the extracts and medicinal preparations.
