Now Foods 5-HTP 50mg 30 herbal capsules

– Supports Positive Mood
NOW Foods’ 5-HTP product is a plant-based source of amino acid that naturally supports the production of serotonin in the central nervous system. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan) is the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan (L-Tryptophan) and the neurotransmitter serotonin (Seroton). High levels of serotonin in the body improve sleep and enhance mood. It is therefore mainly used to regulate the body’s circadian rhythm and to treat anxiety and depression.
5-HTP promotes a deep and restful sleep. Sleep is a very important factor in the body’s recovery process after intense exercise. Supplementing with 5-HTP helps increase serotonin levels, and enables athletes to relax and reduce stress during an intense workout. The action of 5-HTP reduces the time it takes for the body to fall asleep and increases the stages of REM sleep to induce deeper sleep. This allows the body to recover and increase energy levels.
Note: NOW’s 5-HTP is derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract, and is of high purity.
