Subtitle on stripe - Did You Know?

Text under subtitle - 5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan and serotonin, is extracted from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia). 5-HTP supports the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system; serotonin can impact sleep, mood, appetite, and body temperature.* 5-HTP therefore, is typically used to promote restful sleep because it supports the production of serotonin, which is in turn, converted to melatonin.*
