NOW 5-HTP 200mg capsules are a high-potency supplement formulated to support healthy mood balance and overall emotional well-being. The 5-Hydroxytryptophan is a natural metabolite extracted from the seeds of the African plant *Griffonia simplicifolia*. As a direct precursor to serotonin, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier to increase the production of this vital neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and pain perception.

This extra-strength 200mg formula is complemented by synergistic nutrients, including L-Tyrosine, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), and Vitamin B6, which collectively support neurotransmitter synthesis, enhance the body’s response to stress, and aid amino acid metabolism. 5-HTP promotes a calm and relaxed state, assists in achieving restful sleep, and is clinically recognized for potentially helping to reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as pain and sleeplessness. The recommended adult dosage is one capsule daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional, and should be taken with food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal sensitivity.
