Abstract
The use of 5-HTP could reduce the problems faced by patients who report morbid jealousy problems that significantly interfere in their loving relationship and quality of life established. However, further studies are necessary to verify this hypothesis that have been identified, in my case studies, to emit a recommendation on dosage and more comments on interactions and side effects would be very appropriate in further studies.
