Nutri Advanced 5-HTP is a formulation of 5-Hydroxytryptophan, which is a precursor of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which regulates numerous important bodily functions, in particular brain and nerve function. Approximately 70% of oral 5-HTP is converted to serotonin compared with around 3% of L-tryptophan.
Serotonin may be converted in the body to melatonin, important in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. 5- Nutri 5-HTP is sourced from the plant Griffonia simplicifolia.
