Now Foods 5-HTP, Double Strength

Overview

Now Foods 5-HTP, Double Strength is a dietary supplement centered on 5-HTP, a naturally occurring compound that the body uses in the pathway from tryptophan to serotonin. Each capsule provides 200 mg of 5-HTP, which is twice the amount found in the brand’s regular strength version. The formula is intended to support neurotransmitter function and a positive mood.

The 5-HTP used in this product is extracted from the seed of Griffonia simplicifolia, an African plant source. The supplement is offered in vegetarian capsules and is formulated as a non GMO, kosher product. NOW also identifies it as part of its amino acids line and notes GMP quality assurance.

Compared with a standard 100 mg capsule, this double strength version provides a higher amount of 5-HTP in a single capsule, which may be useful for those seeking a more concentrated daily serving. The product is designed for bedtime use and is taken on an empty stomach according to the directions.
