Natural Factors 5-HTP 50 mg Time-Release Caplets provide a gentle, steady release of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a naturally occurring amino acid required for serotonin production. Serotonin plays a vital role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and pain tolerance. This lower-dose timed-release formula is ideal for individuals who prefer a gradual introduction to 5-HTP or require a milder strength for emotional well-being and sleep support.
5-HTP from Natural Factors helps promote healthy mood balance, is commonly used as a sleep aid, and supports relief from fibromyalgia symptoms. When taken as a preventive measure, it can also reduce the severity and duration of migraine headaches. Sourced naturally from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, this formula is non-GMO, pure, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The timed-release technology ensures a slow and steady absorption of 5-HTP, helping minimize potential gastrointestinal discomfort while supporting consistent serotonin production throughout the day or night. This makes Natural Factors 5-HTP 50 mg an excellent option for those beginning their serotonin support journey.
