Formulated using naturally-sourced 5-HTP extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicolia plant, this important precursor molecule to our own natural neurotransmitter serotonin supports a beneficial impact on mood, sleep, carbohydrate cravings and discomfort associated with fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn easy 1 capsule daily dose of 100 mg 5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes a sense of overall mental and emotional wellbeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy sleep regulation, neurotransmitter function and reduced sugar cravings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWhat is 5-HTP?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) is a precursor for the brain neurotransmitter serotonin, known as the feel-good brain chemical. Serotonin in turn is a precursor for the sleep neurotransmitter and hormone melatonin. Low levels of these neurotransmitters can result in mood, sleep, appetite and hormonal imbalances that can leave you feeling quite blue. Supporting a healthy balance of these neurotransmitters by supplementing with 5-HTP as a nutritional precursor helps support restful sleep, positive mood and a better regulated appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWhy use 5-HTP over L-Tryptophan?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in protein foods that the body uses as a precursor to produce serotonin. However, this process only occurs naturally following enzymatic conversion with tryptophan hydroxylase which converts dietary tryptophan to 5-HTP. However, tryptophan can also be shunted down other biochemical pathways in the body. 5-HTP, in contrast, is already is a form able to easily cross the blood-brain-barrier for the production of serotonin in the central nervous system. In addition, unlike tryptophan which is in competition with other amino acids for absorption, 5-HTP is able to be absorbed easily and directly, with or without the presence of other amino acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) (from Griffonia simplicolia extract) (seed) 100 mg.
