The 5-HTP Doyble Strength supplement from NOW is a plant-based amino acid (5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan), which naturally supports the production of serotonin in the central nervous system.
5-HTP is the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan (L-Tryptophan) and the neurotransmitter serotonin (Seroton).
High levels of serotonin in the body improve sleep and enhance mood. Therefore, 5-HTP in supplement form is mainly used to regulate the sleep-wake cycle and to address anxiety and depression.
Taking the 5-HTP supplement helps increase serotonin levels and allows athletes to relax and reduce stress during intense training.
5-HTP not only reduces the time it takes for the body to fall asleep but also increases the stages of REM sleep, leading to deeper sleep. This allows the body to recover and increase energy levels.
The 5-HTP 200 mg dietary supplement from NOW is made from Griffonia seeds and is of high purity.
Recommended dosage: 1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach before bedtime.
Packaging: 60 Vegetable Capsules
