5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), 5-HTP, My Nutri Week, 100 mg, 60 capsules

About the product

Feeling emotional burnout, irritability, or difficulty falling asleep after a busy day? The modern pace of life depletes the internal resources of the nervous system, and the body's inability to convert tryptophan from food often leads to a deficiency of serotonin, the hormone of happiness. 5-HTP from My Nutri Week is an amino acid necessary for the synthesis of the hormone of joy. Supplementing with it regulates optimal serotonin levels, which helps stabilize the emotional background and restore a positive mood. This amino acid helps control appetite during stress, ensures the restoration of the nervous system, and maintains high productivity and inner peace throughout the day. This is a natural way to ensure the body receives quality rest and restores internal balance.

Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract (Griffonia simplicifolia) is an African plant that is the richest natural source of 5-hydroxytryptophan. Unlike regular tryptophan, 5-HTP more easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is more quickly involved in the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin. This makes it an effective nutrient for supporting the normal functioning of the nervous system under conditions of chronic stress.

• Dosage form: 60 capsules.
• Recommended daily serving: 1 capsule.
• Recommended age:adults over 18 years.

Why take

• Emotional stability and positive outlook— 5-HTP helps maintain optimal serotonin levels, which directly affects the feeling of satisfaction and the ability to remain calm under stress situations.

• Improving the quality and depth of sleep—since serotonin is a precursor to melatonin, 5-HTP helps regulate circadian rhythms, making it easier to fall asleep and making nighttime sleep more restorative.

• Appetite control during stress— 5-HTP activates serotonin receptors in the brain, which reduces cravings for sweets and suppresses emotional overeating, which occurs as the body's response to a deficiency of joy hormones (serotonin).

• Cognitive function support—5-HTP promotes reducing the level of background anxiety, due to which the brain can focus more productively on tasks, maintaining high concentration.

Instructions for use

Quantity per day: 1 capsule per day

When to take:Adults take 1 capsule per day 30-40 minutes before meals.

Works better with:

• Magnesium and vitamin B6 - these components are cofactors in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, they complement the calming effect.

• Vitamin C —promotes better absorption of amino acids and protects brain cells from oxidative stress.

Combinations with should be avoided:

• L-Tyrosine (and other amino acids of the LNAA group) — uses the same transport system to enter the brain. High tyrosine levels may reduce the absorption of 5-HTP, which weakens mood support.

Storage conditions:Store in the manufacturer's packaging, in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of 0°C to 25°C and at a relative humidity of no more than 75%, out of the reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When will I feel the first results from taking 5-HTP?

The effect of the supplement is often cumulative. Many users notice an improvement in the quality of sleep and mood after 7-10 days of regular use.

Can I take this supplement in the morning if I'm driving?

For most people, the recommended dose of 100 mg does not cause daytime drowsiness, but on the contrary, allows you to stay focused. However, due to individual differences in the body, it is worth monitoring your reaction during the first intake before driving.

Can I combine it with coffee or tea?

Caffeine can somewhat neutralize the calming effect of 5-HTP. If your goal is relaxation and stress management, it is better to separate taking the supplement from drinking caffeinated drinks by 2-3 hours.

How is 5-HTP better than regular tryptophan?

5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin in the synthesis chain. The body does not need to spend energy on complex transformations, so absorption occurs faster and with maximum bioavailability.

Does the supplement help with weight loss?

Yes, indirectly. By helping to increase serotonin levels, 5-HTP can help combat stress eating and cravings for simple carbohydrates (sweets), making it easier to stick to a diet.
