What is Serotone 5-HTP?
Serotone 5-HTP provides the natural amino acid, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) which helps support production of feel-good neurotransmitters and plays a role in a range of body functions from mental wellbeing to helping rest.
5-HTP is found naturally in the Griffonia simplicifolia seed, which is a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa and Central Africa. This formula also provides B vitamins and zinc, essential co-factors, which are needed to help 5-HTP to be used effectively in the body.
Vitamins B3 and B6, biotin and folic acid contribute to normal psychological function whilst zinc supports cognitive function.
Why is ours better?
Higher Nature's Serotone is vegan and vegetarian and available in 50mg or 100mg capsules. Sourced from the Griffonia Simplicifolia seed.
Who is this for?
As a precursor to feel-good neurotransmitters, 5-HTP with additional B vitamins can be taken to support normal psychological function. It is also involved in mental health and is best taken at the end of the day to support a restful night.
