Tryptophan is an essential amino acid required by the body to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body uses tryptophan to make 5-HTP, and then this gets converted into serotonin. Oftentimes this process is not efficient and does not produce adequate serotonin. Therefore, an increased intake of 5-HTP becomes important. Numerous scientific studies show 5-HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders. Our 5-HTP is from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP has many advantages over L-tryptophan: besides being safer to produce and arguably more potent, it can cross the very selective blood-brain barrier more easily than L-tryptophan. Once it passes through the blood-brain barrier it is able to help increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, whose levels are positively associated with mood.



Features
Provides 100mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan.
Sourced from European standardized Griffonia bean extract.
Contains synergistic nutrients vitamin C and B6.


Benefits
5-HTP is more efficient at crossing the blood-brain barrier, therefore it is a more effective way to support the synthesis of serotonin in the brain.†
Serotonin is responsible for regulating appetite and mood, and serves as a precursor to melatonin – a hormone involved in regulating the sleep cycle.†
Serotonin helps support a more balanced emotional state.†
5-HTP is a more efficient way to increase serotonin levels, as tryptophan must compete with other amino acids as part of protein in the diet for absorption. Some of the tryptophan is used to make the vitamin niacin, and may be taken up by cells other than brain cells as a source of amino acids.
Studies show 5-HTP is safe and effective for supporting mood, healthy food intake, and a better outlook on life.†

L-Tyrosine is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. It is part of the chemical reactions in your body that create the neurotransmitter dopamine and other hormones. The body makes tyrosine from another amino acid called phenylalanine. Tyrosine can also be found in dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, oats, and wheat. Tyrosine is essential for several important biochemical/ physiological functions related to thyroid, brain, and skin health. Our L-Tyrosine is in the free form and includes the synergistic benefits of vitamin B6.



Features
Provides 500 mg L-tyrosine per serving.
Easy to swallow capsule.
Includes vitamin B6 which is required for tyrosine synthesis.
Gluten-free


Benefits
Tyrosine is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; all of which play a significant role in normal, healthy nervous system function.†
Tyrosine serves as a precursor to the skin, eye, and hair pigment melanin. Melanocytes convert tyrosine into melanin.†
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder where phenylalanine cannot be metabolized, causing it to build up. This typically causes damage to the central nervous system. In these individuals, tyrosine becomes a conditionally-essential amino acid that needs to be consumed in the diet.†
The body uses tyrosine to make thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are made up mostly of tyrosine with iodine molecules attached to it. Thyroid hormones help control the body’s metabolic processes.†
