Doctor's Best 5-HTP with Vitamins B6 & C - 100mg - 120 Capsules

Doctor's Best 5-HTP is enhanced with Vitamins B6 and C. 5-HTP aids serotonin production — serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, mood, and appetite.

5-HTP is a natural metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan and functions as a precursor for serotonin. It's derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, free of synthetic ingredients, and has a high level of purity. 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and becomes available for serotonin synthesis, making supplementation a more direct route to serotonin production than tryptophan alone.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) is necessary for 5-HTP to convert to serotonin. Vitamin C participates in the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and of tyrosine to norepinephrine, another important neurotransmitter.
