5-HTP Capsules
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that the body naturally produces from tryptophan. It is a precursor compound in the body's natural serotonin production pathway. Our 5-HTP is derived from Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant native to West and Central Africa whose seeds naturally contain high concentrations of 5-HTP.
What's Inside
5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract) - A naturally occurring amino acid found in the seeds of an African shrub. 5-HTP is one of the most popular supplements in the nootropic and wellness communities, particularly among those interested in serotonin's role in the body.
Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate) - An essential mineral added for stability.
Who Uses This

The Science Context
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the brain, gut, and blood platelets. The body produces serotonin through a process that involves converting tryptophan (from food) into 5-HTP, and then converting 5-HTP into serotonin. This biochemical pathway is well-documented in scientific literature and is a subject of ongoing research.
