L-5HTP 100mg - With Vitamin C & B-6 - 60 Caps

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required by the body to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body uses tryptophan to make L-5HTP, and then this gets converted into serotonin. Oftentimes this process is not efficient and does not produce adequate serotonin. Therefore, an increased intake of L-5HTP becomes important. Numerous scientific studies show L-5HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders. Our L-5- HTP is from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP has many advantages over L-tryptophan: besides being safer to produce and arguably more potent, it can cross the very selective blood-brain barrier more easily than L-tryptophan.* Once it passes through the blood brain barrier it is able to help increase levels of serotonin; a neurotransmitter, whose levels are positively associated with mood.* Features of L-5HTP 100mg - With Vitamin C & B-6 - 60 Caps • Provides 100 mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan.• Sourced from European standardized Griffonia bean extrac
