Natural Source

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. This is a mid-range dosage of 5-HTP.

Reviews

Lucy Disappointed Posted on 2020-04-14: I purchased the Now brand 5-HTP 100mg thinking it would be the same as some of the the other Brands (coated caps) but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations and did not seem to work as well at night for sleep. I would not recommend it.
