🧪 Formulation Notes

5-HTP (L-5-Hydroxytryptoohan) is an intermediate in the natural conversion of the essential amino acid tryptophan to serotonin, a brain chemical associated with positive mood and well-being.

Serene Science 5-HTP is derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

Hypoallergenic: Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.

Additional Information

Balanced mood

Preclinical studies show that 5-HTP may help support healthy levels of serotonin in the body. In addition to a balanced mood, serotonin may also support melatonin production and a healthy sleep cycle.
