Description
5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP Extra Strength provides the amino acid building blocks in the production of serotonin – a key neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation- which is then used to produce the neurohormone melatonin.
Ultimately, those who suffer from mood imbalances or are experiencing symptoms associated with fibromyalgia may benefit from taking 5-HTP.
AOR Advantage
AOR’s 5-HTP is derived from the seed of the small shrub tree Griffonia simplicifolia and then processed in France. This extra strength formula is twice the dose of AOR’s regular 5-HTP, to meet varying individual needs and help decrease capsule burden.
