It also helps relieve sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance, helps relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia, and helps reduce the severity and duration of migraine headaches when taken as a preventive. The timed-release caplets gradually release 5-HTP to minimize gastrointestinal upset and allow a steadier rise in serotonin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Factors 5-HTP 100 mg contains a free-form amino acid in convenient timed-release caplets. 5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter with important roles in mood, sleep, and fibromyalgia sensitivity. Although the body produces serotonin, the building blocks it needs are often in short supply.By increasing serotonin levels, 5-HTP helps promote healthy mood balance and helps relieve sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance. It also helps relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia and helps reduce the severity and duration of migraine headaches when taken as a preventive.5-HTP is naturally sourced from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia and delivered in timed-release caplets that provide a steady and lasting increase in serotonin levels. By releasing 5-HTP gradually, this format minimizes the risk of rapid spikes or drops that can occur with immediate-release 5-HTP, which is important for individuals looking to promote emotional balance. Raising levels gradually also helps minimize gastrointestinal upset, which can sometimes be caused by 5-HTP.Each caplet contains 100 mg of 5-HTP to increase serotonin levels without the risk of dependence. It is third-party ISURA® tested for purity and potency, non-GMO, gluten-free, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNon-medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, carbohydrate gum (cellulose), coating (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], glycerin), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelps promote healthy mood balance.
