What is 5-HTP and what does the product contain?

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an organic compound classified as an amino acid. It is found in the seeds of the African black bean, a small evergreen shrub native to the tropical regions of West and Central Africa. Standardisation means that the 5-HTP content of the extract is defined, so every capsule provides the same amount. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own; it occurs in dairy products, meat, seafood, bananas, avocados and dried pulses. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a water-soluble vitamin found mainly in offal, wholegrain products and pulses.

How to use?

Take 1 serving, i.e. 1 capsule, a day. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. For adults only. Do not use with other medications, especially prescription antidepressants (SSRIs). If you take medication or have a health condition, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet; a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended.
