Main Product Description
AOR® 5-HTP Extra Strength — Supports Mood Balance and Serotonin Production
5-HTP Extra Strength 100 mg provides a natural source of L-5-hydroxytryptophan, an amino acid intermediate derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.
5-HTP serves as the direct precursor to serotonin — the “feel-good” neurotransmitter that regulates mood, appetite, and sleep — and is subsequently converted into melatonin, the hormone responsible for maintaining healthy sleep cycles.
By supporting serotonin and melatonin synthesis, 5-HTP can help promote a positive mood, relaxation, and improved sleep quality. It may also assist individuals experiencing symptoms associated with mood imbalance or fibromyalgia.
AOR Advantage: AOR’s 5-HTP is extracted from Griffonia simplicifolia and processed in France to ensure purity and potency. This extra-strength formula provides twice the dose of AOR’s regular 5-HTP, offering flexible dosing options for individuals seeking more robust support with fewer capsules.
