The body converts 5-HTP into the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin in the brain acts as a chemical messenger.
High strength vegetarian supplement
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is derived from Griffonia Seed, using a specially developed process that retains as much of the active ingredient as possible. The supplement is then encapsulated in a fully vegetarian cellulose capsule, each providing 100mg of 5-HTP (in amino acid form).
99% pure UK sourced material
Unlike cheaper Griffonia Seed powder,our UK-sourced material is 99% pure. This means that it only requires 101mg of Griffonia Seed to make our 5-HTP capsules. Some of the cheaper supplements on the market use inferior 70% 5-HTP material, which is much less pure than ours, so please be aware of what you are buying.
You can also be assured that Just Vitamins 5-HTP is certified to be 'Peak-X' free, and is sourced and manufactured in the UK to GMP quality standards.
Improved capsule form
As a result of customer feedback we have recently made some improvements to this 5-HTP 100mg supplement. It appeared that the tablet-coating could crack and crumble under certain storage conditions, due to moisture absorption, so have changed the format of this supplement from a tablet to a two-piece capsule which has resolved the problem. Please be assured that the active nutrients are exactly the same as before, so if you are a regular customer you will still be buying the same, great 5-HTP supplement, just in capsule form, rather than as a tablet.
