5-HTP 50mg (Now Foods)

MDMA hangover got you feeling down? Combat the post ecstasy sadness. Now Foods 5-HTP capsules support serotonin levels, bringing happiness to your brain’s serotonin needs. Relax and recover with high-quality 5-HTP.

What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP is found in several plant species. Griffonia simplicifolia seeds are a rich source of 5-HTP. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and melatonin.

How does 5-HTP work?
Amino acid l-tryptophan, found in foods like chicken and nuts, turns into 5-HTP in your body. 5-HTP is then converted into 5-HT, also known as feel-good chemical serotonin. Increased serotonin levels can help you recover from conditions that lead to low serotonin levels, like the ecstasy comedown. Post-party lows follow the MDMA high because of serotonin depletion. Since 5-HTP does not need to be converted in the body first from tryptophan and readily passes the blood-brain barrier, low doses help bring your serotonin levels back to normal. While 5-HTP can help you recover faster, self-care after an ecstasy comedown is just as important. Get plenty of rest. Don’t forget to hydrate, eat good nutritious food and do some light exercise or go for a walk. 5-HTP supports a positive mood and more restful sleep, helping your body deal with the after-effects of the MDMA hangover.

How to take 5-HTP
Take one (1) capsule with a large glass of water after the effects have worn off or as soon as you wake up the next day. Take on an empty stomach or with food.
