5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) is a naturally occurring intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. 5-HTP is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP is converted in the brain to serotonin, a neurotransmitter substance found at the junctions (synapses) between neurons. Thus, 5-HTP supports healthy level of serotonin in the body.
Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems, therefore, increasing your body’s production of serotonin may have various benefits.
Regular use of 5-HTP may help maintain mental and emotional well-being and promotes healthy sleep.
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach at bedtime.
Store in a cool dry place. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Do not use as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.
