5-HTP 50mg 60c by Pure Encapsulations 

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an organic compound that is naturally produced in the body. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it is then converted to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in regulating endocrine and brain activity, which is responsible for emotions, appetite, and sleep-wake cycles. This 5-HTP supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant, making it unique in the marketplace. It is beneficial to the human body as it can help address symptoms related to serotonin deficiency, such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and migraines. This supplement is safe and non-toxic, and it has no known side effects. It is important to note that this supplement has not been evaluated by the FDA and the claims made do not constitute FDA approval.
