5-HTP is used by the body to make seratonin, an important neuro-transmitter for normal nerve and brain function allowing for enhanced mood, well-being and healthy sleeping patterns. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a substance produced in the body after eating foods containing the amino acid L-tryptophan.

The body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin, which is an important neurotransmitter required for normal nerve and brain function. Since serotonin is linked to mood and relaxation, normal levels of it allow for balanced moods and healthy sleeping patterns. Vivitas 5-HTP is a naturally sourced extract from the seeds of the West African Griffonia Simplicifolia plant.

Ingredients

• Griffonia Simplicifolia seed extract (95% 5-HTP),
• microscrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate.
• Capsule Shell Contains: Gelatin, glycerin and water.

The transmission of signals through different regions of the brain is via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitter serotonin is essential for normal nerve and brain function. But for many people, poor diet combined with the hustle and bustle of everyday life has resulted in serotonin deficiencies, which have been linked to anxiety, mood disorders, sleep disorders, effects of sedentary lifestyles, eating disorders, and addiction. For this reason, regulating serotonin levels is the primary goal of two commonly prescribed classes of drugs (SSRI's and MAO inhibitors). When taken orally, Vivitas 5-HTP can help reestablish normal serotonin levels in the brain because it acts as a precursor to serotonin production in the body.  Clinical studies have shown that 5-HTP supplementation can help improve mood and relaxation by normalizing serotonin levels in the brain.
