Subject: 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)
5-HTP is the intermediary in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for promoting a sense of calm and feelings of well-being. 5-HTP is derived naturally from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant of West Africa and is safe and welltolerated. Due to its ability to soothe nervous tension and feelings of anxiety, 5-HTP may also be effective for curbing carbohydrate cravings some people experience when depressed.* NOW® supplies 5-HTP in a 50mg capsule as well as a 100mg vegetable capsule that’s suitable for vegetarians. anxiety, 5-HTP may also be effective for curbing carbohydrate cravings some people experience when depressed.* NOW® supplies 5-HTP in a 50mg capsule as well as a 100mg vegetable capsule that’s suitable for vegetarians.
