PRO 5-HTP 100 is an essential precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin used to support mood and enhance sleep quality.
Pro 5-HTP 100 is L-5-hydroxytryptophan, a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan, derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. 5-HTP is an essential precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin and therefore is primarily used to support mood. Serotonin is also a precursor to melatonin, which can enhance sleep quality and regulate the circadian cycle. Additionally, research supports a role for 5-HTP in reducing migraines and the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
While supplemental serotonin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), naturally derived 5-HTP is well absorbed orally (70%) and penetrates the BBB, where it is converted into serotonin.
