5-HTP from Puritan's Pride is a natural, highly purified amino acid derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It is a direct precursor to serotonin, the "happiness hormone" that plays a key role in regulating mood, sleep and appetite. Unlike regular tryptophan, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier more quickly and is directly involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, making it an effective remedy for stress and emotional burnout.
The supplement helps to gently stabilise your mental and emotional state, improve the quality of your night's sleep and reduce the urge to "stress eat" sweets or fast food. A special feature of Puritan's Pride's formula is the addition of calcium, which promotes better absorption of amino acids and supports healthy nerve impulse transmission. The capsules provide convenient dosing and rapid release of the active ingredient, helping you stay calm and productive throughout the day.
