Then \u003cstrong\u003e5-HTP\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is 5-HTP and where does it come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin B6 is added\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between natural and synthetic 5-HTP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390676902116,"sku":"8720865080741","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/5-htp-luto-supplements.jpg?v=1783928892","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/luto-5-htp","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
