5-HTP Natural for mood and sleep
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that your body uses as a building block for serotonin. Serotonin is known as the "happiness hormone" and plays an important role in regulating your mood, sleep, appetite and overall wellbeing. This supplement contains natural 5-HTP, extracted from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.
From 5-HTP to serotonin
When you take 5-HTP, it can cross the blood-brain barrier and is converted into serotonin in the brain. This is an important advantage over taking serotonin directly, which cannot cross this barrier. Once serotonin production is increased, part of it is converted into melatonin at night, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle.
Why vitamin B6?
This supplement is enriched with vitamin B6, an essential cofactor in the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. Without sufficient vitamin B6, your body cannot use 5-HTP as efficiently. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal nervous system function and helps reduce fatigue.
When to use 5-HTP?
5-HTP can provide support when you feel stressed or emotionally out of balance, or when you have difficulty getting a good night's sleep. Many people take the supplement before bedtime to improve sleep quality. You can also use it during the day to support your mood.
Pure and plant-based
The 5-HTP in this supplement comes exclusively from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing plant that grows in West Africa. These seeds naturally contain a high concentration of 5-HTP, eliminating the need for synthetic production. With 60 capsules of 50 mg 5-HTP each, you have a flexible supply that allows you to adjust the dosage to your personal needs.
