Product Description:

Stressful lifestyles and poor diets often cause a depletion of serotonin levels. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) has been used for many years to replenish serotonin levels and support a healthy mood and sleep cycle regulation. Supplementation with 5-HTP has been shown to increase serotonin levels in the central nervous system. The essential amino acid, tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase can be inhibited by a number of factors including stress, insulin resistance, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency, and insufficient magnesium levels. Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and thus supports optimal levels of serotonin. 5-HTP also readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, bypassing competition with other amino acids, making it a more efficient precursor for serotonin production.

5-HTP is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to be associated with the feeling of well-being. In addition to supporting a healthy mental outlook and a positive mood, studies have also shown serotonin to encourage deeper sleep and to support healthy appetite regulation. Unlike oral serotonin, 5-HTP is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and increase synthesis of serotonin in the central nervous system. This formulation of 5-HTP is extracted naturally from the seed of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

How soon will I receive my product?

Most orders ship within one to two days. We keep many items in stock, however, unlike other online retailers, we do not buy in bulk in order to assure that you get fresh and effective products. Many online retailers buy hundreds of bottles at a time to get the best price so that they can squeeze out a bit more profit. This can mean your product could be sitting in a hot warehouse for months before it gets shipped to you. We buy direct from the manufacturer in small batches in order to get the freshest product possible for you, which means higher efficacy even if it takes a couple more days for you to receive the items.

What if I have questions about my products?

As a client of The Expert Nutrition Center you can ask questions of our Nutritional Pharmacist, Dr. Ray Hinish. You can either email support@expertnutrition.com, call 888-794-4325, or use the chat widget at the bottom.

How fast is shipping?

Many orders go out on the same day as purchase. Depending on the item ordered, your order may take 1-3 days to ship on average. Our focus is on providing the freshest, and thus most effective, products on the market. This requires us to keep limited stock in order to provide you with fresh supplements.

What's the returns policy?

We accept unopened bottles back for a refund within 30 days of purchase. We do not accept open bottles for return.
