It is a key component in the complex chain of brain interactions that regulates our moods and sleeping patterns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neurotransmitter serotonin plays an important role in our affective states. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with carbohydrate cravings and weight gain, mood and sleep disorders, and substance dependence. Because 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and converts to serotonin, 5-HTP has undergone much research regarding serotonin metabolism, which indicates it can play a supportive role in normal bodily functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides the direct precursor to serotonin and melatonin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps regulate normal brain function, and may support healthy eating and sleeping patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides nutritional support for normal metabolic regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.3097%; height: 19px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Size: 1 Vegetarian Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.2743%; height: 19px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmount\/Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 65.3097%;\"\u003eL-5-Hydroxytryptophan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.2743%;\"\u003e50 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, L-leucine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a dietary supplement, 1 capsule one to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not indicated for pregnant or nursing women.

Very small amounts of 5-HTP are found in foods, including bananas, tomatoes, plums, avocados, eggplants, walnuts and pineapples. We obtain our 5-HTP from the seed of Griffonia simplicifolia, commonly used in the preparation of lectins (pharmaceutical-grade compounds used in blood typing for transfusions and bone marrow transplants). When 5-HTP is produced properly, there is no evidence that the pure substance itself can cause eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. Every lot of NutriCology® 5-HTP is carefully tested to ensure its purity and to guarantee the absence of contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nutricology","offers":[{"title":"150 Capsules","offer_id":41804007702615,"sku":"NTC-52810","price":50.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0193\/9503\/files\/52810__97290-Photoroom.png-Photoroom.png?v=1714623525","url":"https:\/\/www.healthyhabitsliving.com\/products\/5-htp-50-mg-150-capsules-1","provider":"Healthy Habits Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
