Serotone 5-HTP Supplement
- For mood and sleep
- Support psychological function
Naturally sourced amino acid 5-HTP (hydroxytryptophan). 5-HTP can be converted in the body to neurotransmitter serotonin, which has a range of important roles in the brain and body. Also includes essential co-factors needed to help 5-HTP to be used effectively.
Serotone 5-HTP provides the natural amino acid, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) which helps support production of feel-good neurotransmitters and plays a role in a range of body functions from mental wellbeing to helping rest.
5-HTP is found naturally in the Griffonia simplicifolia seed, which is a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa and Central Africa. This formula also provides B vitamins and zinc, essential co-factors, which are needed to help 5-HTP to be used effectively in the body.
Vitamins B3 and B6, biotin and folic acid contribute to normal psychological function whilst zinc supports cognitive function.
As a precursor to feel-good neurotransmitters, 5-HTP with additional B vitamins can be taken to support normal psychological function. It is also involved in mental health and is best taken at the end of the day to support a restful night.
