Product Information
5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP Extra Strength provides the amino acid building blocks in the production of serotonin.
Research supports a role for 5-HTP in relieving the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition with patients suffering an array of symptoms including pain, sleep disruption, fatigue and mood symptoms.Â
