5-HTP 100mg NOW FOODS

NOW Foods 5-HTP 100 mg – a supplement with 5-hydroxytryptophan for supporting mood, emotional balance, and healthy sleep. 5-HTP is obtained from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. One vegetable capsule contains 100 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan.

5-HTP is a natural intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. Unlike serotonin, 5-HTP can cross the blood–brain barrier, after which it may be used in the nervous system for serotonin synthesis. Serotonin is involved in the regulation of mood, emotional responses, appetite, and the sleep–wake cycle, and is also a precursor to melatonin.

Thanks to this, NOW Foods 5-HTP may be relevant during periods of stress, nervous tension, emotional exhaustion, low mood, and difficulty falling asleep, when it is important to support natural serotonin metabolism and a normal sleep cycle.

The product is designed for regular course-based intake and is especially convenient for evening use – the manufacturer recommends taking 1 capsule per day, preferably on an empty stomach before bedtime.
