5-Hydroxytryptophan is the precursor to serotonin, a mood and appetite
regulating neurotransmitter produced within the body. It has been combined with
Vitamin C and Vitamin B6, an important cofactor in the conversion to serotonin.
Nature's Way uses natural 5-HTP extract from Griffonia simplicifolia beans
produced in easy-to-swallow, enteric-coated tablets to minimize any potential
gastric discomfort.
Use under the guidance of a healthcare practitioner. Start with a low dose of
one tablet (50mg) taken daily with a meal. Increase the dose slowly (every 3-5
days) up to a maximum of four tablets taken daily (200mg). Total daily intake
should be divided into two or more doses, with no more than two tablets per
dose.
