Description
Support a healthy mood and reduce insomnia with 5-HTP 50 mg – 60 Tablets from Nature’s Way®. This dietary supplement is free of soy‚ milk‚ lactose‚ wheat‚ and yeast.
5-HTP or 5-Hydroxytryptophan is an amino acid derived from the seeds of a West African medicinal plant known as Griffonia Simplicifolia. Studies reveal that 5-HTP is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin in your brain and this neurotransmitter helps reduce stress‚ anxiety‚ and more. Serotonin could potentially support certain facets of cognition‚ improve memory and understanding‚ and regulate endocrine function too.
5-HTP in this dietary supplement from Nature’s Way® reportedly reduces nervousness‚ hyperactivity‚ body pain‚ headache‚ and premenstrual symptoms.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid could potentially strengthen your immune system and provide antioxidant protection to the cells of your body. Reports suggest that vitamin C increases the production of neurotransmitters in your body and supports healthy brain function.
The presence of Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine HCL in 5-HTP 50 mg – 60 Tablets from Nature’s Way® may support synthesis of neurotransmitters.
