Vitakruid 5-HTP 100 mg

Vitakruid 5-HTP 100 mg

Precursor of serotonin

The product 5-HTP 100 mg contains a unique, highly concentrated Griffonia simplicifolia extract with no less than 95% of the active substance 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). The Griffonia shrub is a plant species that is common in nature in Central and West Africa. The seeds of this crop contain a wealth of 5-HTP. This essential amino acid easily crosses the cerebral blood barrier and is converted in the brain into the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is the precursor to the hormone melatonin.

5-HTP is an already converted form of tryptophan. The problem with tryptophan, however, is that there is a continuous battle with other amino acids for absorption in the brain (Fernstrom, 2013). Tryptophan therefore has to compete with amino acids such as leucine, valine, tyrosine and isoleucine. In practice, this means that on average only 1/5 of tryptophan can be converted into serotonin (Fernstrom, 2013).

By using 5-HTP 100 mg in addition to Multi Night, you create a powerful variant of the Multi Night.
