5-HTP 50mg

5-HTP aka 5-hydroxytryptophan is a drug-free and naturally occurring plant-derived amino acid that participates in the body’s synthesis of serotonin, the chemical messenger that plays a key role in enhancing mood.

The compound is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, libido, and pain sensation. 5-HTP is a simple way to increase brain serotonin levels and thus enhance happiness, calmness, relaxation and overall emotional well-being. The supplement also helps to improve sleep quality and reduce occasional stress and anxiety.
