5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) pure powder 50 grams (1.76 oz), Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract Powder (standarsized 98% 5-HTP.)

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally-occurring amino acid. Bulk product is usually extracted from Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed. Though 5-HTP is found in food only in insignificant quantities, it is an intermediate in the metabolism of tryptophan, an amino acid found in turkey, milk, potatoes, pumpkin, and various greens. 5-HTP is a precursor of neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which is responsible for mood, hunger and sleep. 5-HTP works through increasing the amount of serotonin produced in central nervous system tissue. Many researches show that 5-HTP may support suppressing appetite, weight loss[1-3], anti-depression, good mood conditions, sleep aid, and cognitive enhancement. On the other hand, because 5-HTP has not been thoroughly studied in a clinical setting, possible side effects and interactions with other drugs are not well known. Generally Use Amount: For adult, to take 1/20 teaspoon powder (about 100 mg powder) with one glass of juice or water daily, preferably on an empty stomach at bed time.
