What It Does
AOR 5-HTP delivers the direct building block your brain needs for balanced serotonin production. This naturally-derived compound supports healthy mood balance, promotes restful sleep patterns, and helps reduce migraine frequency through proven neurochemical pathways.
Why It Works
- DIRECT CONVERSION: Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP doesn't compete with other amino acids — it goes straight to serotonin production where you need it.
- DUAL PATHWAY SUPPORT: Works through both serotonin for mood balance and melatonin synthesis for healthy sleep cycles.
- FLEXIBLE DOSING: Start low and adjust up based on your specific needs — from basic mood support to fibromyalgia symptom management.
What's Inside
Each vegetarian capsule contains 50mg of L-5-Hydroxytryptophan derived from African Griffonia simplicifolia seeds. Free from wheat, gluten, dairy, soy, and shellfish. Made in Canada under AOR's strict quality standards.
Why we carry it: AOR's commitment to single-ingredient purity means you get 5-HTP without fillers or synthetic additives that compromise absorption.
