NOW Foods 5-HTP with Tyrosine Capsules provides the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. This is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behaviour, and pain sensation. Serotonin also has a significant role in depression, anxiety, and aggression. 5-HTP is one of the few approved natural therapies for fibromyalgia with the possibility of reducing pain severity, morning stiffness, and sleeplessness. 5-HTP has been shown to increase neurotransmitting catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine that are synthesized from tyrosine. There is speculation that increasing the availability of tyrosine to the brain allows increased neurotransmitter synthesis, which helps to counter the negative effects of stress. The addition of B-vitamins to this formula provides additional synergistic effects as they enhance the metabolism of amino acids.

This is the only 5-HTP with L-Tyrosine I have been able to find with capsules that have 200 mg. It is very cost effective because I don't have to take as many capsules and the best part is, it works. If I stop taking it, I have trouble sleeping and my mood goes out of control. I have been using this for about 4 months and I highly recommend it.

My husband loooves this stuff. It took a month to fully kick in, but shortly after taking it daily he's had no panic attacks! His mood has improved and his sleep. The NOW brand is the best

This one is good because it is combined with tyrosine. Very good value (at well.ca) for the quality, as most of the "Now" products are.

This product has helped my husband with his mood and that’s makes me happy 😉
I notice a huge difference if he stops taking them.
