5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) - Feel Calm, Clear, and Balanced—Naturally†

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)  can help you with many issues. If your mind races at night, stress takes over your day, or your emotions feel unpredictable—you're not alone. Life is demanding, and your nervous system is paying the price. You want real relief, not just a temporary fix.

That’s where 5-HTP – The Serotonin Link® steps in. 5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin—the neurotransmitter connected to mood, sleep, appetite, and a sense of calm. By supporting your body’s natural serotonin pathway, 5-HTP helps you restore emotional balance from the inside out.† Imagine feeling steadier, less reactive, and genuinely rested. One capsule a day supports healthier sleep cycles, reduced irritability, and calm focus—without harsh ingredients.† It’s not magic. It’s simple neuro-nutrition, backed by nature.

5 Hydroxytryptophan used in supplements is plant-based and suitable for vegetarians and vegans; ours is derived from Griffonia seed. That means you get a clean, botanical source designed to work with your body—not against it.

How It Works

A simple, 3-step path to more calm and better sleep:

1. Supplement with 5-HTP: As a serotonin precursor, 5-HTP provides raw material your body can use to support healthy serotonin production. Balanced serotonin helps regulate mood, sleep rhythms, appetite, and stress response.†

2. Calm Your System: Pairing your routine with calming nutrients like L-Glycine can help settle a busy mind—especially in the evening.†

3. Sleep, Restore, Reset: When serotonin is supported, sleep quality, daytime mood, and appetite balance often follow—helping you feel more centered and resilient.†

No prescriptions. No harsh chemicals. Just plant-based calm you can count on.†

What to Expect

• First few nights: Many people notice a smoother transition into sleep and fewer middle-of-the-night “mind loops.”†
• 1–2 weeks: Mood steadiness and stress resilience often improve as your routine becomes consistent.†
• Ongoing: You may experience more balanced eating patterns and fewer carb cravings linked to stress or fatigue.†

Consistency is key—take your capsule daily and give your system time to respond.

Who It’s For

• Adults seeking gentle, non-habit-forming support for calm, mood, and sleep.†
• Busy professionals, parents, students—anyone feeling “stuck in high gear.”
• Vegetarians and vegans who prefer a botanical source of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP).

Suggested Use

Take one capsule daily. Many prefer taking 5 Hydroxytryptophan  30–60 minutes before bed or with a light snack. If you’re using it for daytime calm, start low and assess how you feel before shifting timing. Do not exceed the suggested use unless directed by a healthcare professional.
