Jarrow Formulas 5-Htp 100mg (60 Caps) (60 Capsules)
Jarrow Formulas Five (5)-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an extract of Griffonia simplicifolia seeds from coastal West Africa and is verified to be free of the “peak X” contaminant. 5-HTP is the direct metabolic precursor of serotonin and is important for the production of melatonin. It supports:
- Mental Health,
- Sleep Pattern,
- Carbohydrate Cravings.
In the body, (5-hydroxytryptophan), is synthesized from tryptophan and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in the brain, blood platelets, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Supplementation of 5-HTP has shown a distinct ability to increase serotonin levels. Since the FDA restricts the availability of tryptophan, many research scientists have discovered that 5-HTP compares favorably in modulating serotonin levels. This product is an extract from a natural plant seed and not from fermented tryptophan.
Serotonin is a compound found in the body and concentrated especially in the brain. This neurotransmitter is responsible for regulation of mood and behavior. Having adequate levels of serotonin can help in feeling calm and relaxed; having too little sometimes leads to irritability and uneasiness.
