The Active Ingredient Is: 5-HTP (Hydroxytryptophan)

5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds and acts as a direct precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood and sleep regulation.

This form is derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract and is used to support neurotransmitter health and normal neurotransmission as part of a balanced diet.

What Does 5-HTP Do?

Studies suggest that 5-HTP is involved in serotonin synthesis, which plays a role in mood and emotional wellbeing and may influence sleep regulation in line with EFSA guidance.

Additionally, the overall safety profile of 5-HTP is considered acceptable for short-term use for many adults, with gastrointestinal discomfort being the most common side effect reported in some sources.
