• Mood-relevant messenger substance: Serotonin is involved in various neurological processes in the body
• Connection to sleep regulation: Serotonin also serves as a precursor to melatonin
• Good absorption: 5-HTP bypasses the conversion from tryptophan – for high bioavailability
• Quality from German manufacturing: Highest purity and bioavailability for optimal nutrient absorption

What is 5-HTP and how is it formed in the body?

5-Hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP for short, is a natural amino acid that is formed in the body as an intermediate between tryptophan and serotonin. Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP is not a proteinogenic amino acid – it is not used for muscle building, but rather specifically for the formation of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Since 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin, it is directly bioavailable – without conversion steps, which would be necessary with tryptophan.

From what is NatuGena 5-HTP obtained?

Our 5-HTP is obtained from the seeds of the African black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia). This plant belongs to the legume family and grows wild in the rainforests of Central and West Africa. Griffonia extract is a natural source of 5-HTP.
