What It Does
AOR 5-HTP Extra Strength delivers 100mg of L-5-hydroxytryptophan to support your body's natural serotonin production. This means better mood balance, improved sleep quality, and support for managing daily stress. Research shows 5-HTP can be as effective as conventional approaches but works faster with fewer side effects.
Why It Works
- DIRECT PATHWAY: Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently and converts directly to serotonin where you need it most.
- DUAL ACTION: Supports both serotonin for mood and melatonin for sleep, addressing two key areas with one targeted approach.
- RESEARCH PROVEN: Clinical trials confirm significant improvements in mood balance, sleep patterns, and stress-related symptoms including fibromyalgia support.

Why we carry it: AOR's extra strength formula provides therapeutic levels of 5-HTP with consistent potency and bioavailability that actually delivers results.
