Other brands' cost 20% of this product. Worth the money?

Thorne is the highest quality of all supplements, in my opinion, and it costs much less than this particular Pure product. I switch between the two brands, but for 5-HTP I am going with Thorne, because of price and also that both companies have comparable quality standards.

i prefer this brand and understand you get what you pay for, but i cannot ignore that this is 60 caps for 49$ all other companies have 120 for 20$?why

I believe that the quality is A LOT better here. You have to take into account fillers, and the main product ingredients and its potency. For me, other brands didn't even compare half. It's very expensive in my opinion and if I could afford it, I would continue to use this.

What are the ingredients listed on the bottle?

Here is the product information from the bottle:"Each vegetarian capsule contains:5-hydroxytryptophan 100 mg. (Griffonia simplicifolia)other ingredients: hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water)Note: This product is not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women. Do not use concurrently with SSRI medications or MAO inhibitors."
