Now Foods 5-Htp 100 Mg 60 Vegetarian Tablets

Description:

Now Foods 5-HTP 100 mg 60 Vegetarian Tablets is a dietary supplement formulated to support emotional balance, healthy mood, and restful sleep. Each vegetarian tablet provides 100 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a naturally occurring amino acid derived from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant and a direct precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite.
