About This Product
Natural Factors 5-HTP 100 mg is a timed-release caplet with 100 mg of L-5-hydroxytryptophan from griffonia seed. Helps to promote healthy mood balance.
What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP stands for 5-hydroxytryptophan. It is an amino acid compound that the body forms from tryptophan, and it is the direct building block the body uses to make serotonin. Ordinary foods contain almost none, so supplement 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing shrub from West Africa.
Key features
- 100 mg L-5-HTP per caplet
- Sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia seed
- Timed-release caplets
- 60 or 120 caplets
- Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free and soy-free
Why timed release?
A timed-release caplet is made to dissolve slowly, so the 100 mg of 5-HTP becomes available bit by bit and not all at once.
