Please Note: This product is intended for use under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxtryptophan) encourages increased serotonin levels in the brain and may promote a heightened state of emotional well-being, support appetite control and sleep/wake cycles.*5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, appetite and sleep/wake cycles. The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.* Supplement Facts Serving Size  1 capsule Servings Per Container 60 Amount Per Serving 5-hydroxytryptophan (Griffonia si
