Are you sleeping poorly or noticing that your mind struggles to calm down at the end of the day? Then 5-HTP might be something to consider. This supplement contains 375 mg of Griffonia simplicifolia extract, standardized to 20% 5-hydroxytryptophan. Supplemented with vitamin B6 in its active form, pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The capsule is entirely plant-based, making it suitable for vegans.
5-HTP is short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, an amino acid your body normally produces itself from tryptophan. In this supplement, it comes directly from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant from West Africa. The difference from tryptophan as a supplement? 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin in the conversion chain. This means your body converts it via a shorter pathway. Incidentally, Griffonia seeds have been traditionally used for centuries in the region where the plant grows.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. In this 5-HTP supplement, B6 is present in the form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. This is the biologically active form, meaning your body doesn't need to convert it first for it to be usable. Per capsule, you get 1.4 mg, which is exactly 100% of the reference intake. So, no superfluous megadoses, but a targeted supplement.
There are two variants of 5-HTP on the market: natural, extracted from Griffonia, and synthetic, produced in a laboratory. Chemically, they are identical. But the natural variant contains, in addition to 5-hydroxytryptophan, small amounts of other plant substances from the seed. This supplement uses natural Griffonia extract, standardized to 20% 5-HTP. This means that of the 375 mg of extract per capsule, 75 mg is actually 5-HTP.
With 60 capsules per jar and a dosage of 1 per day, you have a two-month supply. The capsule shell is made of HPMC, a plant-based alternative to gelatin. Free from known allergens and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
Each capsule contains 375 mg of Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract, standardized to 20% 5-HTP. This corresponds to 75 mg of pure 5-hydroxytryptophan per dose.
The added vitamin B6 is present in its biologically active form. Your body does not need to convert it first, as is the case with the common variant, pyridoxine.
The HPMC capsule shell is 100% vegetable. The product contains no known allergens and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
With 60 capsules and a dosage of 1 per day, you have exactly two months of this supplement. No need for double or triple doses.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that your body uses as a component of serotonin. It is extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant from West Africa. This supplement contains 375mg of Griffonia extract per capsule, standardized to 20% 5-HTP.
Preferably on an empty stomach, before going to sleep. This allows your body the undisturbed space to process the amino acid.
Yes, 5-HTP combines well with magnesium or melatonin, for example. But do not use it with antidepressants or sedatives, due to possible interactions with the nervous system. Are you in doubt? Then consult your doctor.
With 1 capsule per day, you have a two-month supply. Per dose, you get 375 mg of Griffonia extract plus active vitamin B6. Compared to 5-HTP-only capsules without B6, the composition here is more complete.
Both are serotonin components, but they are at different places in the conversion chain. L-tryptophan must first be converted by your body into 5-HTP, and only then into serotonin. 5-HTP skips this first step. In practice, this means a shorter path from intake to transformation.
Chemically, they are identical. The difference lies in their origin: natural 5-HTP comes from Griffonia seeds and also contains traces of other plant substances. Synthetic 5-HTP is produced in a laboratory without this plant matrix. This supplement uses the natural variant derived from Griffonia simplicifolia.
