Why we chose this...

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a compound that your body produces naturally from the amino acid tryptophan. It plays a vital role in the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, appetite, and sleep. Our Modern Age clinicians recommend Thorne’s 5-HTP to help support your cognitive health, boost serotonin and lower stress levels. Thorne’s formulation includes pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, an active form of Vitamin B6, that helps support the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin, resulting in a more impactful supplement. .
