## Questions & Answers

**Q: What herb is your 5 htp derived from?**
A: The human body makes 5-HTP, which is the precursor of serotonin, from L-tryptophan, an amino acid. To facilitate the chemistry to produce more serotonin. I find one 100 mg capsule of 5-HTP at bedtime is sufficient. A second capsule of 500 mg L-tryptophan at bedtime assures there is readily available raw material for the production of more serotonin throughout the next day. Also, there is a tryptophan to NAD+ pathway that energizes cells while you sleep and is life extending (low NAD+ is directly and critically related to the aging process). In addition, L-tryptophan stimulates sleep (turkey has high levels of tryptophan in it and most people have been snoozed by Holiday turkey) and is also the raw material for a natural hallucinogen that brings on pleasant dreams. Bottom line, 100 mg 5-HTP, 500 mg L-tryptophan and 10 mg slow release melatonin results in very restful sleep, often with dreaming, and a pleasant "life is good" personality throughout the following day. All of this is available, without side effects or drowsiness in the morning, for a lot less than any sleeping pill with positive, life extending effects. Melatonin, in combination with undisturbed sleep, is also responsible for several routine repairs and maintenance in the body of things like esophageal and stomach irritation, CNS repairs, and DNA repairs. It doesn't matter that much if the melatonin is slow release. A capsule or pill works fine (I've used both). Melatonin stay with you through part of the waking day. If you are young, you may need only 5 mg or even none. If 60 or over, you will probably find 5 mg to 10 mg helpful. Some Seniors even go as high as 15 mg. Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland, but its production diminishes with age. The three way bedtime combination I have used for over three years. I'm 69 and I sleep like a baby which gives me higher energy all day long. Tryptophan can be expensive. The Nutricost source is the best I've found and they use a capsule with L-tryptophan powder in it. Another bedtime combination for the elderly is SAMe and sub-lingual Methylcobalamin (B12). Seniors have failing methylation systems as well as B12 absorption issues which brings on dementia. lethargy and fatigue: epidemic problems among the very old.

**Q: So what is the source of the 5-HTP in this supplement?**
A: The 5-HTP is a purified compound, so the source has no effect on the supplement itself.

**Q: 5- HTP  whats its use?**
A: its a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonnin. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan (LT) in the biosynthesis of serotonin.
Serotonnin is not only present in your brain, but also in your gut, it helps your digestive system communicate with your brain via the Vagus nerve.  If your brain and stomach get out of synch you will suffer a host of ills and problems. This may help alleviate those problems. 
in fact, More serotonin is produced in the gut than anywhere else in the body, approximately 95 percent.

**Q: Does it contain griffonia simplicifolia?**
A: Per the back of the label, it contains 5-Hydroxytryptophan (100mg). Other ingredients are veggie capsule and rice flour. There's nothing indicating the source of the 5-Hydroxytryptophan on the label or on the website. Your best bet may be to email the manufacturer and find out what the source material is for the amino acid. No guarantee that marketing and/or customer relations will be privy to what the chemists do. Good luck!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Supports Mood & Sleep
*by E***N on August 18, 2025*

I’ve been taking 5-HTP for a few weeks and it’s made a real difference. My mood feels more balanced and I don’t get as stressed as easily. It also helps me wind down at night and get more restful sleep. The capsules are easy to take and gentle on my stomach. Definitely worth trying if you want natural support for mood and relaxation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LIFE CHANGING!!!
*by D***. on September 6, 2025*

Life changing for me! I was always soo irritable and angry but after taking these I am a happy level person. No more intense mood swings! Have tried many prescription medication and everything made me feel like an emotionless zombie. I can definitely feel a difference in my mood if I have forgotten to take them a few nights. I only take at night before bed because if not they make me feel extremely nauseous so I highly recommend only taking them before bed or at least after eating a full meal! I also recommend taking a break for a week or so after each bottle just so they still have the same affect! Could not recommend enough!!! Will buy over and over

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The nausea means its working
*by P***P on February 4, 2025*

Edit:TLDR: eat a few crackers or a couple candies before taking 5-HTP, and nothing elseI have learned more about the biochemistry of 5-HTP, and exactly what you eat with it makes a huge difference.An empty stomach will cause nausea as most of the 5-HTP is absorbed quickly and converted into serotonin near the gut.A protein rich snack will block absorption of 5-HTP, as the other amino acids compete for absorption via the LAT1 transport.A carb rich snack will not compete for absorption in the gut, will reduce the nausea, and the increased insulin will suppress other amino acids in the blood, leading to preferential transport of 5-HTP across the blood brain barrier, leading to much more pronounced effects on mood and focus.I think the inconsistent effects I mentioned in the original review was from me switching to a higher protein breakfast, as opposed to the relatively sugary trail mix I had before.---original review:The quality is inconsistent. I got a bottle that had zero effect (ordered October 2024), but the lack of effect made it INCREDIBLY clear how much it had been working before then.So, when it works, it gives me a buzzy energry that lasts throughout the day. It has completely changed my productivity at work, and literally carried me to employee of the month.The nausea is important to address. DO NOT take this on an empty stomach. You will feel absolutely terrible, and unable to do anything for a couple hours.That being said, it works best if you have very little in your stomach. If I eat just a handful of trail mix or something, it will come on strong, and last for hours without making me sick.Hopefully the next bottle is full strength again. I assume the heat in a warehouse or delivery truck deactivated it.
