5-HTP increases serotonin levels to promote restful sleep, manage stress, and decrease sugar cravings. It contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.

Thorne's 5-HTP provides 100 mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan per capsule, a direct precursor to serotonin, supporting healthy mood and sleep.
5-HTP bypasses the rate-limiting step in serotonin synthesis, making it a more efficient way to increase serotonin levels compared to L-tryptophan.
The formula includes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6, which acts as a crucial cofactor in the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin, optimizing its effectiveness.
5-HTP is well-absorbed and readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, allowing for direct impact on serotonin synthesis in the central nervous system.
