Metabolic Maintenance's 5-HTP is naturally derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia and is combined with activated vitamin B-6 as active P-5-P, an important cofactor in serotonin metabolism*.

5-HTP plays a role in both sleep regulation and mood balance*.

5-HTP is a precursor for serotonin. Serotonin has a calming effect on brain chemistry, and plays an important role in many other bodily functions, including digestion, appetite, and the perception of physical comfort*.

Serotonin can also be converted to melatonin (the hormone that helps us fall and stay asleep). However, 5-HTP bypasses the light-triggering system that regulates the release of melatonin. It increases both serotonin and melatonin release, regardless of light or time of day*.

Consult with your physician if using SSRI’s.
