L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (griffonia seed extract) 100 mg
Mood and serotonin support
-Provides 5-HTP, an absorbable precursor to serotonin
-Improves sleep patterns & helps alleviate migraines
-Flexible dosing options for varying needs
5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is primarily used to support mood through its ability to increase serotonin – the neurotransmitter associated with happiness – and the neurohormone melatonin. It can also be used for several conditions where serotonin is believed to play an important role.
Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle, 5-HTP has been investigated in sleep quality studies. Additionally, research supports a role for 5-HTP in reducing headaches and the symptoms of fibromyalgia including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness and fatigue.
AOR Advantage:
AOR’s 5-HTP is derived from the seed of the small shrub tree Griffonia simplicifolia. This source of 5-HTP is devoid of any “peak x” contaminants. This extra strength formula is twice the dose of AOR’s regular 5-HTP, to meet varying individual needs and help decrease capsule burden.
