Pure Encapsulations 5-HTP 100 mg - 60 Caps, 180 Capsules | Supports Brain Serotonin Levels

5 HTP is an amino acid precursor used in the formation of serotonin. The body makes this from tryptophan (an essential amino acid you get from food). Pure encapsulations 5 HTP (5 Hydroxytryptophan) 100 mg support serotonin production in the body and promote emotional well-being and healthy sleep/wake cycles.

Clinical studies suggest that taking 5-HTP as a supplement boosts serotonin levels. Serotonin is an active neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotional well-being, appetite, and healthy sleep/wake cycles. 

In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. In clinical studies, the administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production and it has been derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.
