5-HTP
Daytime Mood Balance & Sleep Continuity Support
Supports serotonin production, positive mood balance, and relaxation to help promote calmer days and steadier sleep continuity.*
Overview
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring compound used by the body to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood balance, relaxation, and sleep regulation.*
Supporting healthy serotonin levels during the day can help promote calmer evenings and more consistent sleep patterns, especially for those whose sleep is influenced by mood or stress fluctuations.*
What It Supports
● Supports healthy serotonin production*
● Helps maintain positive mood balance*
● Supports relaxation and emotional calm*
● Helps support sleep continuity overnight*
Key Components
5-Hydroxytryptophan (200 mg, from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract)
A direct precursor to serotonin, supporting mood balance, relaxation, and sleep continuity.*
What Is 5-HTP / What Is It Good For
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a compound the body produces from the amino acid tryptophan, and it serves as the direct precursor to serotonin - a neurotransmitter involved in mood, relaxation, and sleep regulation. It's commonly sourced from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, an African plant, since 5-HTP itself isn't readily available from dietary sources the way tryptophan is.
Supporting healthy serotonin production may help promote a more balanced mood and steadier relaxation response, which can carry through into more consistent sleep, particularly for those whose sleep continuity is affected by daytime stress or mood fluctuations.*
Who It's For
● People whose sleep is affected by stress or low mood
● Those who fall asleep but wake during the night
● Individuals seeking mood and sleep continuity support
● Those wanting daytime support that benefits night-time sleep
How to Take
Take daily, ideally earlier in the day or evening as directed on the label.
