Sfera 5HTP Complex (Griffonia Seed Extract)

• 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

Warnings:

• 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.
