5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid vital to the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Low serotonin is linked to many common conditions including depression, obesity, sleeplessness, migraines, and fibromyalgia.
Supplementing with 5-HTP provides natural support for emotional well-being, and caplets are enteric coated to minimize gastric discomfort and optimize absorption.
Ingredients: 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia) seed (Pharmaceutical Grade), Dicalcium phosphate, purified water, microcrystalline cellulose, aqueous coating solution (purified water, ethylcellulose, medium chain triglycerides [coconut], oleic acid, carbohydrate gum [cellulose], glycerin, sodium alginate, stearic acid), magnesium stearate (vegetable grade).
How to use: 1 caplet 2-3 times daily with meals or as directed by a health professional. To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, slowly increase dose over a period of 2 weeks.
Warnings: As with any supplement, consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, or if you are taking medication, have a medical condition or anticipate a surgery.
