Vitakruid5-HTP 100 mg

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a substance obtained from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant, a shrub that grows in West Africa.

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that you get from food, while 5-HTP is an intermediate that is formed from L-tryptophan in the body.

L-tryptophan is naturally found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, poultry, dairy, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

This means that the extract contains a fixed amount of the active substance, in this case 30% 5-HTP, ensuring each capsule delivers a consistent dosage.

This is an instruction from the manufacturer. It is often applied to supplements used over longer periods, with a conscious short break taken.
