Solgar 5-HTP 100 mg, 90 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is 5-HTP?

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid obtained from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. In the body, it acts as a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite. Each Solgar vegetable capsule provides 100 mg of natural 5-HTP, free of the compound Peak X, ensuring its purity and quality.

The role of 5-HTP in the body

Serotonin is a key substance for overall well-being. As a precursor to this neurotransmitter, 5-HTP contributes to its natural synthesis. This process is part of the body's normal physiology, and supplementing with 5-HTP can help maintain adequate serotonin production, especially during times of stress or imbalance.

Additional ingredients: Magnesium and Valerian

This Solgar product combines 5-HTP with magnesium and valerian root. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those related to nerve function. Valerian is a plant traditionally used for its relaxing properties. Together, these ingredients complement the action of 5-HTP, offering comprehensive support for emotional well-being and relaxation.

Recommended dosage

The suggested dose is one vegetable capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach or as directed by a healthcare professional. Each bottle contains 90 capsules, enough for a three-month supply. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Precautions and side effects

5-HTP is generally well tolerated, but in some people it can cause mild digestive discomfort, such as nausea or heartburn. It is recommended to start with a low dose and increase it gradually. It should not be taken with antidepressants or other medications that affect serotonin without consulting a doctor. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose.
