Natural Factors 5-HTP 100 mg provides a natural and effective way to support emotional well-being, healthy sleep, and overall neurological balance. This time-release formula delivers a steady, controlled release of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), an amino acid that serves as a direct precursor to serotonin – the neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, appetite, and stress response.
Low serotonin levels are linked to symptoms such as low mood, disrupted sleep, increased pain sensitivity, and migraine frequency. By naturally increasing serotonin, 5-HTP helps promote healthy mood balance, encourages restful sleep, and supports a calmer emotional state.
Research also shows 5-HTP can help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia such as widespread pain, poor sleep quality, and morning stiffness. Additionally, when taken preventatively, 5-HTP has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of migraine headaches.
Natural Factors sources 5-HTP from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a traditional African plant. Each caplet is guaranteed pure, vegetarian/vegan friendly, and free of GMOs and contaminants. The gentle time-release format helps minimize digestive discomfort sometimes associated with 5-HTP supplements, while ensuring sustained serotonin support throughout the day or night.
