When You Feel Better, Life Can Feel Better Too There are times when you simply don't feel quite yourself. Perhaps you're finding it harder to stay positive. Everyday pressures seem to affect you more than they normally would. You don't feel quite as emotionally resilient, and even small problems can start to feel bigger than they really are. And when you're feeling like that during the day, switching off at night doesn't always come easily either. It's one of the reasons scientists have been interested in a naturally occurring substance called 5-HTP for more than 50 years. Because 5-HTP sits at an intriguing point in one of the body's most important biochemical pathways. The Natural Stepping Stone to Serotonin Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in many processes throughout the body and brain. But your body doesn't simply produce serotonin from nothing. It starts with an essential amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is converted into 5-hydroxytryptophan — 5-HTP — which can then be converted into serotonin. In other words, 5-HTP is a natural precursor to serotonin. And that helps explain why researchers have spent decades investigating 5-HTP and its possible relationship with areas ranging from emotional wellbeing to sleep. Higher Nature's Serotone 5-HTP 100mg provides a convenient way to add 5-HTP to your daily routine. From the Seeds of an African Plant The 5-HTP in Serotone isn't synthetically manufactured. It comes naturally from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing shrub native to West and Central Africa whose seeds are naturally rich in 5-HTP. Each Serotone capsule provides 100mg of 5-HTP from Griffonia seed extract, making this Higher Nature's high-strength Serotone formulation. But Higher Nature hasn't stopped at 5-HTP. More Than Just 5-HTP Serotone also provides a carefully selected combination of B vitamins and zinc. These include niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6, folic acid, biotin and zinc. These nutrients have important recognised roles in emotional and mental wellbeing. Niacin, vitamin B6, folate and biotin all contribute to normal psychological function. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, while zinc contributes to normal cognitive function. So Serotone isn't simply a capsule containing isolated 5-HTP. It's a broader formulation combining naturally sourced 5-HTP with nutrients selected to complement it. An Important Note Before Taking Serotone Do not take Serotone if you are taking antidepressant medication. Higher Nature also advises that Serotone should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are taking other medication, have a medical condition or are under medical supervision, consult your doctor or healthcare professional before use. Each capsule provides 100mg of naturally sourced 5-HTP. 30 capsules — one month's supply.
