Ingredients explained
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
5-HTP is converted to serotonin in the body, which may influence mood regulation, appetite signals, and sleep-wake patterns.
Caution: May cause drowsiness; avoid driving until you know how it affects you, and consult a professional before combining with substances that affect serotonin.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate acts as a cofactor for enzymes that convert 5-HTP into serotonin.
Caution: High intakes from supplements over time may cause tingling or numbness; follow the suggested use.
How they work together
Vitamin B6 in its active form supports the enzyme steps that convert 5-HTP into serotonin. Together they target the same pathway, with 5-HTP supplying the building block and vitamin B6 facilitating its conversion.
