5-HTP 50mg

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter critical for brain function, regulating mood, sleep quality, appetite, muscle movement, alertness, behavior, and activity level—and serving as a direct precursor to melatonin. When serotonin levels fall below optimal ranges, the consequences can include low mood, poor sleep, increased cravings, headache discomfort, irritability, and heightened sensitivity in joints and muscles. Stress, emotional crisis, inadequate rest and nutrition, excessive caffeine or alcohol use, and lack of exercise can all seriously impair the brain's ability to produce serotonin.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid extracted from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. In the body, it serves as the direct precursor to serotonin—making it one of the most efficient and natural ways to replenish serotonin levels. Used in Europe for over 30 years for mood balance, quality sleep, weight management, and comfort support, each vegetarian capsule delivers 50 mg of 5-HTP paired with 5 mg of Vitamin B6—the essential coenzyme required for the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin.

This targeted formula supports balanced mood, deeper and more restorative sleep, healthy appetite control, and overall comfort by addressing serotonin deficiency at its source.
