NOW FOODS 5-HTP Dietary supplement Extract of Griffonia simplicifolia (SEMI). The seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia contain 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), an endogenous precursor of serotonin. At the biochemical level, mood disorders are often associated with faulty signal transmission between nerve cells (neurons) due to the lack of the serotonin neurotransmitter: in our body, serotonin is produced from tryptophan, an essential amino acid that once penetrated into the nerve cell, it is first transformed into 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and then into serotonin. Serotonin is also involved in the mechanisms of sleep and appetite. NET CONTENT: 15.9 grams DIRECTIONS: take 1 capsule once a day, preferably on an empty stomach before bedtime. STORAGE: Keep in a cool and dry place. |
