Description
-
- Natural 5-HTP amino acid supplement
- Made from griffonia seed
- With added P5P (vitamin B6) to improve efficacy
- No artificial additives or colourants
Because of its ability to boost serotonin levels, 5-HTP can help with:
- Feelings of depression, stress, fatigue & anxiety
- Insomnia & restless sleep
- Chronic pain, migraines & tension headaches
- PMS & menopausal symptoms
How It Works: The essential amino acid l-tryptophan can be found in some foods, but the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase is needed to convert it into 5-HTP and ultimately into serotonin. Issues like stress and vitamin deficiency can affect your levels of tryptophan hydroxylase. Supplementing with 5-HTP overcomes this problem, by making more 5-HTP immediately available for conversion into serotonin.
Directions:
- Adults: As a food supplement, take 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
- Mood enhancement: 1 capsule 3 times a day
- Chronic pain relief: 1 capsule 3-4 times a day
- Migraines: 2 capsules 2-3 times a day
- Sleep aid: 3 capsules 30-45min before bed
- Weight aid: 3 capsules 30 min prior to a meal
Warnings:
- Keep out of reach of children.
- If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
- Do not take 5-HTP in conjunction with other medications for depression that increase serotonin, such as SSRIs or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Combining the two can cause serotonin levels to become dangerously high.

09/04/2021, By MichelleI suffer from anxiety and mild depression, and have been looking for a natural alternative to help me on a day to day basis. With regular use I find that this really assists in elevating as well as stabilizing my mood. I take it in conjunction with sceletium and this really helps.25/03/2021, By Mom of three kidsI suffer from Hypothyrodims. Which brings on severe depressive episodes. Along with PMSD I was living in a body that wanted to sleep and not wake up. I went from severe depression to finding myself smiling and giggle over small things. Feeling positive and lighter and actually viewing life differently. It has literally saved my life. As I could no longer function as a person in this world. I now feel way more eager to do things and awhile lot less agitated and just overall feeling "what's the point?". Thank you. I never recommend natural pills etc. This one truly helps.04/12/2020, By NinaI have suffered from anxiety most of my adult life and been on various meds. I made a decision to go off those meds about 3 months ago but was constantly feeling on edge. I have been taking Griffonia for about 10 days now and I am thrilled. Feeling a lot calmer and sleeping well. Have already ordered my 2nd bottle as I don't want to run out.14/07/2020, By PauliThis is definately a necessity in the crazy uncertain times - takes the edge off without interfering with day to day functioning.31/05/2020, By PetroI have found that over a period of about a month I am more relaxed and upbeat,and it would help for depression too.

I chose to use this product because chemical meds can be so dangerous. I'm completely over the depression, which is a huge relief. This product is really effective for that.29/11/2019, By TracyI've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I do feel it is beginning to work somewhat for my anxiety.
