This synergistic formula is designed to support the normal functioning of the nervous system, helping to maintain mood, emotional balance and mental wellbeing.
What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring compound that the body produces from the amino acid tryptophan. It serves as a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in mood, sleep, energy and cognitive function.
5-HTP Plus benefits
5-HTP supports serotonin production, a key factor in mood, sleep, cognition and mental wellbeing. Its effects are enhanced when paired with vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, essential cofactors in serotonin synthesis. Magnesium also helps calm the nervous system and promote relaxation, while zinc supports cognitive function. Together, these nutrients work synergistically to promote energy, a balanced mood and healthy nervous system function. As serotonin also plays a key role in sleep regulation, it may also help promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
Take 1 capsule twice daily with food, or as directed by a practitioner.
