Pure Nutrition 5-HTP is an a nootropic formula providing 50 mg per capsule of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) from Griffonia simplicifolia seed. 5- HTP is a natural metabolite of L-tryptophan that is converted to serotonin, a “feel-good” neurotransmitter that helps with mood, well-being, and appetite regulation.
While L-tryptophan is thought to be responsible for making people drowsy, 5-HTP works to support relaxation and calmness without sedating people. However, in higher doses, 5-HTP can also support healthy sleep-wake cycles since serotonin is a precursor of melatonin.
Benefits of 5-HTP Supplementation
5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is effective for increasing serotonin levels in the central nervous system. Serotonin is an important chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that regulates mood and appetite, among many other vital processes. Research suggests that 5-HTP can help support mood, relaxation, and sleep quality by increasing serotonin transmission. There is also data showing 5-HTP supplementation encourages weight loss by reducing food intake.
Recommended Use
Take 1 capsule at bedtime with 8 ounces of water, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
