5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) 100 mg is a dietary supplement made by Pure Encapsulations, supplying 5-hydroxytryptophan in small, easy-to-swallow size-3 vegetarian capsules.
The active ingredient, 5-hydroxytryptophan, is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. It is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid tryptophan to serotonin. In the body, 5-HTP serves as a precursor to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, appetite, and sleep/wake cycles.
This formula is intended for adults 18 and up who wish to support brain serotonin levels and emotional well-being. The capsule is encased in a hypoallergenic vegetarian shell, and the hypoallergenic plant fiber used as a filler is derived from pine cellulose. Pure Encapsulations formulates this product using high-quality, pure ingredients backed by verifiable science, free from unnecessary additives and many common allergens, including wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, gluten, magnesium stearate, artificial colors and sweeteners, coatings and shellacs, GMOs, unnecessary binders, fillers and preservatives, trans fat, and hydrogenated oils.
