• Flexible dosage, adaptable to individual needs.

5-HTP is L-5-hydroxytryptophan, a compound derived from the amino acid tryptophan found in protein-rich foods and in the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant native to Africa. 5-HTP is primarily used to support mood due to its ability to boost serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes feelings of well-being, and melatonin, a neurohormone. It is also used to treat several other health problems involving serotonin.

Comparison of 5-HTP to various tricyclic antidepressants has shown that this molecule is as effective and acts faster than these, with fewer side effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, 5-HTP can improve sleep quality. Furthermore, research attributes a role for it in reducing headaches and fibromyalgia symptoms. Numerous clinical trials have shown that 5-HTP treatment led to improvement in several characteristic symptoms of fibromyalgia, including pain, morning stiffness, anxiety, and fatigue.

Ultimately, individuals suffering from mood disorders such as depressive mood or anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia, or sleep disorders may benefit from 5-HTP supplementation.

AOR's 5-HTP is a naturally sourced product offered in two dose formats to cover a wide range of dosage options, adaptable to individual needs. Extra Strength 5-HTP provides double the dose of AOR's regular 5-HTP.
