Description
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) sits one step away from serotonin in the biochemical pathway, which makes it one of the more direct nutritional routes to supporting serotonin production. Serotonin in turn influences mood stability, sleep onset and quality, and appetite regulation — which is why 5-HTP appears in protocols targeting all three.
Cytoplan add supporting co-factors because the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin is enzyme-dependent and requires specific nutrients, notably vitamin B6, to proceed efficiently. Supplementing 5-HTP without those co-factors leaves the pathway incomplete.
What 5-HTP Plus supports:
- Serotonin production — the direct biochemical precursor
- Mood balance and emotional resilience
- Sleep onset and sleep quality
- Appetite regulation and carbohydrate craving management
- Co-factors included for efficient conversion
- Vegan capsule from Cytoplan, the practitioner-grade UK brand
Take as directed, typically in the evening. Not suitable alongside SSRI or other serotonergic medication — check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take any prescribed medication.
