Product Introduction

5 HTP supplement from Lidtke® is certified Peak-X free.

Like L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP is a natural building block of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that controls satiety, mood, sleep patterns, and nervous system function.* However, 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin and is more easily converted to natural serotonin in your brain or digestive tract. For this reason, most practitioners recommend only about one-fifth the dose of 5-HTP that they do for L-Tryptophan.

In addition to the above 5-htp benefits, some individuals may have difficulty metabolizing L-Tryptophan properly.* Because 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin, these individuals may need 5-HTP to achieve normal serotonin levels.

Ingredients

Usage

Take one (1) capsule two or three times per day with a beverage or meal, or as directed by your doctor.

Information

5-HTP is well absorbed when taken orally, with about 70 percent ending up in the bloodstream.*

Intestinal absorption of 5-HTP does not require the presence of a transport molecule and is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, it may be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.* 5-HTP easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and effectively increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.*

5-HTP has been shown to have a beneficial impact on mood, discomfort associated with fatigue, sleep, and carbohydrate craving.* Numerous studies of individuals with negative mood status have shown significant positive response with 50-300 mg of 5-HTP daily.*

To further facilitate serotonin production, Thorne Research's 5-HTP formula contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.* 5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
