5-HTP

5-HTP

5-HTP is converted in the brain to calming serotonin, which may bring a number of benefits:

  • Easier, deeper sleep
  • Can help reduce your appetite for food and aid a weight loss programme. 5-HTP has been particularly helpful to people who tend to eat when stressed.

Contents: 120 V-caps each containing 100mg 5-HTP extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia

What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a type of amino acid which can be converted in the brain to produce the important, calming neurotransmitter Serotonin. 5-HTP has attracted a good deal of attention lately because it can help support a good night's sleep and how hunger is perceived.

The body produces its own supply of 5-HTP from tryptophan, an amino acid found in high-protein foods such as chicken, fish, beef, and dairy products. Any healthy diet should include tryptophan-rich sources such as these. For some people, however, additional 5-HTP from supplements may be beneficial.

This high quality supplement is a natural extract from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.

How do I take 5-HTP?
Take up to 3 capsules a day, one before each main meal. Start with just 1 a day

CAUTION: Consult you doctor before taking 5-HTP if you are receiving any mood enhancing medicine to treat depression etc. Don't take 5-HTP with over the counter cold/flu remedies containing a decongestant.
