Description

Natural 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia. This product is manufactured in such a way that it can be shipped worldwide.

Contains 40 capsules.

5-HTP, or 5-hydroxy tryptophan in full, is the precursor of the important neurotransmitter serotonin, which regulates various vital processes in the body such as healthy sleep, emotional stability, pain sensitivity and appetite. Clinical studies have shown that 5-HTP can help increase the amount of serotonin in the brain. A shortage of this neurotransmitter can lead to depression, insomnia, anxiety, migraine and excessive appetite, among other things. *

Warning
An excess of 5-HTP, especially when administered with vitamin B6, can cause the liver to convert 5-HTP into serotonin, which can result in damage to the heart valves (cardiac fibrosis). When combined with an MAOi or SSRI, 5-HTP may cause acute serotonin syndrome.
