5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, and many other important biological functions.

I was recommend to take this to help me with my issues regarding, insomnia, chronic stress and SAD (seasonal affected disorder). Since I started using it, I have found that it helps relieve many of the symptoms I was experiencing. Generally, I take it at night as I notice that I am able to relax and I also notice that my sleep has improved. I find, in the winter months, that it helps deal with the mood issues I experience with SAD. The capsules are easy to swallow and I have no side effects. Great product.
NOW 5-HTP works great stress and is a good sleep aid. I prefer to use this at night and occasionally during the day if I am having a stressful work day. No side effects. But to take on empty stomach.
Calms when I'm having difficulty falling asleep.
