5-HTP

5-Hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is the direct precursor to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that participates in the regulation of emotional moods, sleep/wake cycles, nerve thresholds, and appetite. In addition to increasing serotonin levels, 5-HTP supports the levels of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that may be low in some clinical situations. Serotonin is an important initiator of sleep, and 5-HTP has been studied for many positive benefits with sleeplessness. Research also suggests serotonin levels may promote early satiety for appetite regulation.*   Serving Size:1 Capsule   Servings Per Container:90    Amount Per Serving 5-Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg     Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule, rice powder       Suggested use for adults: One capsule daily taken before a meal or at bedtime, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Promotes brain serotonin levels to support emotional well-being, healthy eating behavior, and healthy sleep.5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, satiety, and sleep/wake cycles. In clinical studies, the administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production. The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.• Promotes healthy serotonin levels • Supports emotional well-being, satiety, and sleep/wake cycles • Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredientsDietary ConsiderationsGluten FreeNon-GMOServing Size: 1 CapsuleServings Per Container: 60Amount Per Serving 5-hydroxytryptophan 50 mg   Other Ingredients hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), vegetable capsule (cellulose, water)   Suggested Use As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 1-4 times daily, before meals, or as directed by a health professional.   Warning Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women.
