Product Details

Brand: Ortho Molecular

Servings per Container: 90

5-HTP is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to be associated with the feeling of well-being. In addition to supporting a healthy mental outlook and a positive mood, studies have also shown serotonin to encourage deeper sleep and to support healthy appetite regulation. Unlike oral serotonin, 5-HTP is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and increase synthesis of serotonin in the central nervous system. This formulation of 5-HTP is extracted naturally from the seed of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.*

    Trumps an anti-depressant!

    It is important to me to find pharmaceutical grade supplements. I use 5-HTP daily as recommended several years ago by my GYN rather than an anti-depressant. That may not work for everyone, and not all the time, but personally I have noticed a difference. Especially as the dark days of winter set in. It's been used in Europe for decades to boost mood and has the added benefit of helping to control appetite for those weight conscious!

    I usually take Diphenhydramine for sleep, but this has been an effective, natural alternative to help me relax.
