5-HTP (150C)
SKU: 5204
5-HTP supplies 50 mg L-5-Hydroxy-Tryptophan (5-HTP) per one-capsule serving. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in the body. This product also contains the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, both from biologically grown active cultures.
Caution: Very high doses of 5-HTP can be metabolized peripherally and can trigger excess serotonin formation. 5-HTP is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women and should be avoided by those with any form of cardiovascular disease. 5-HTP should not be used by those taking serotonin, 5-HTP, or receptor agonists (naratriptan, sumatriptan, zolmitriptan) .
