Get high-powered support for your mental and emotional wellbeing with Swanson Extra Strength 5-HTP. A unique compound naturally sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia beans, 5-HTP works within the body to promote healthy levels of serotonin. Often called the “feel-good hormone,” serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in the modulation of mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, sleep and numerous other physiological processes.
5-HTP is further transformed to melatonin, the hormone primarily released by the pineal gland that regulates the sleep–wake cycle. 5-HTP supplementation is associated with an increase in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and research shows it may help you fall asleep faster.
Besides being a source of 5-HTP, Griffonia simplicifolia also exhibits antioxidant effects, protecting the body against free-radicals. Swanson Extra Strength 5-HTP delivers 100 mg per serving. View all of our 5-HTP options here.
