I only take melatonin alone. None of the research recommends 5-HTP. That recommendation on the NOW web site is likely there just to increase sales of supplements. In fact the recommendation doesn't make much sense since melatonin and serotonin are synthesized from the 5-HTP amino acid.

If you found that other abstract interesting here are a couple more that might intrigue you too.

Is melatonin involved in the irritable bowel syndrome?

Melatonin: a novel treatment for IBS?

Melatonin and Serotonin effect in gastrointestinal motility

It seems that research in these area is moving rapidly
