5-Hydroxytryptophan - 90 Capsules

Enhances sleep and helps manage stress*

5-HTP has the potential to help you get better sleep, reduce stress levels and curb sugar cravings. It contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate which is an active form of vitamin B6 essential for converting 5-HTP into serotonin - a hormone responsible for regulating our moods.

Serotonin is a critical neurotransmitter that plays an essential role in regulating our sleep, mood and appetite. A healthy serotonin level can support restful nights of reparative slumber, improved outlooks on life and decreased sugar cravings. And if you're looking to boost your body's natural production of the hormone – key precursors L-tryptophan or 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) may be just what you need! Supplementation with 5– HTP has been shown to be much more effective than its predecessor due to it being less susceptible for shunting into other uses like niacin or protein formation when taken alongside meals; plus it’s also well absorbed by the body prior passing through the blood brain barrier which allows better synthesis within central nervous system components too.

As a precursor to serotonin production in the body, 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an effective way to boost levels without having to rely on the rate limiting enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Factors such as stress, age and dietary deficiencies can inhibit this process - making supplementation of 5-HTP key for those looking for increased feelings of wellbeing. Taking it orally ensures up 70% gets absorbed into the bloodstream efficiently. 5-HTP has been proven to have a positive effect on mood, sleep patterns, and carbohydrate cravings. Additionally it can help reduce any discomforts associated with fatigue. Dosage ranges from 50 to 300 mg daily for those who are struggling in negative emotional states; the best part is 5-HTP does not need the aid of transport molecules or other amino acids when taking alongside meals - making it an ideal choice for wellbeing!

Thorne's 5-HTP formula is specially formulated to assist in serotonin production. This unique combination contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, which helps convert the extract from Griffonia simplicifolia - an African plant species – into a usable form of serotonin.
