Support a healthy mood and reduce insomnia with 5-HTP 50 mg – 60 Tablets from Nature’s Way®. This dietary supplement is free of soy‚ milk‚ lactose‚ wheat‚ and yeast.
5-HTP or 5-Hydroxytryptophan is an amino acid derived from the seeds of a West African medicinal plant known as Griffonia Simplicifolia. Studies reveal that 5-HTP is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin in your brain and this neurotransmitter helps reduce stress‚ anxiety‚ and more. Serotonin could potentially support certain facets of cognition‚ improve memory and understanding‚ and regulate endocrine function too.
5-HTP in this dietary supplement from Nature’s Way® reportedly reduces nervousness‚ hyperactivity‚ body pain‚ headache‚ and premenstrual symptoms.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid could potentially strengthen your immune system and provide antioxidant protection to the cells of your body. Reports suggest that vitamin C increases the production of neurotransmitters in your body and supports healthy brain function.
The presence of Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine HCL in 5-HTP 50 mg – 60 Tablets from Nature’s Way® may support synthesis of neurotransmitters.

Good Alternative to Anti- Depressants
My daughters psychiatrist recommended that she start taking an anti-depressant but being that she was 11, we weren't ready to take that step. We tried 5-HTP 50 mg by Nature's Way as an alternative along with therapy. She has made great progress and I know that it is working because when she forgets to take it we can tell by her mood.
Pros
-
This brand includes vitamins B6 and C which is necessary for your body to utilize the 5-HTP. Other brands do not include these vitamins.
Cons
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Good
I'm happy with the quality and effect of this 5-HTP 50 mg by Nature's Way. So far, it has given me more calmness and control over things, and hasn't made me feel super groggy. It feels "cleaner" and purer than other brands of 5-HTP I've tried. I have definitely noticed vivid and strange dreams with the use of this, however. It's not a problem really, just something to note. This seems to be a common effect of 5-HTP.
