Doctor's Best 5-HTP enhanced with Vitamins B6 and C provides a drug-free support for sleep, mood, anxiety and stress

5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) is a naturally occurring metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan.5-HTP is converted in the brain to serotonin, a neurotransmitter substance found at the junctions (synapses) between neurons. Vitamin B6 is necessary for 5-HTP to new serotonion. 5-HTP helps maintain mental and emotional well-being and promotes healthy sleep.

• 5-HTP aids serotonin production; Serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, sexual desire, mood and appetite
• Synthesis of serotonin in the brain requires an adequate supply of either tryptophan or 5-HTP as precursors in the central nervous system
• Vitamin B6 is necessary for the 5-HTP to be converted into serotonin and Vitamin C helps conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin
