5-HTP Synergy™ - 90 capsules

5-HTP Synergy™ combines 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and
pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the activated form of vitamin B6) to
help support healthy serotonin levels and general
neurotransmitter function. This synergistic formula is designed
to help the body maintain healthy sleep patterns, balanced
moods, and a normalized appetite. 5-HTP readily enters the
blood brain barrier and combines with vitamin B6 during
its conversion to serotonin. Therefore, 5-HTP Synergy™ is
the perfect blend for optimizing serotonin production and
neurotransmitter function.*
Why is Serotonin Important?
Serotonin is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in
the brain and is often referred to as the “feel good hormone”
because of its role in sleep, mood, mental outlook, appetite,
body temperature, sexual behavior, and the body’s natural pain
response. Today’s hectic, stressful lifestyles can contribute to a
reduction in serotonin levels, which may affect these factors.
Serotonin, itself, does not cross the blood brain barrier; it is synthesized in the brain from its individual
components. Therefore, supplementing directly with serotonin would be ineffective for raising levels
in the brain, but providing its precursors, such as 5-HTP and vitamin B6, can help maintain healthy
serotonin levels.
Additional Highlights*
• 5-HTP may support healthy weight management, as it helps to balance appetite and minimize
cravings for carbohydrates.
• 5-HTP may be beneficial for aiding individuals in maintaining a low-glycemic or low-carbohydrate diet
by supporting balanced blood sugar levels.
• 5-HTP is highly absorbable and unaffected by the presence of other amino acids, meaning it can be
taken conveniently with food, without impacting its effectiveness.
• 5-HTP is also used by the body to produce other neurotransmitters and brain chemicals such
as melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and beta-endorphin, comprehensively supporting
neurotransmitter function, mental health, and a positive mental outlook.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day, or as directed by your health
