Description
Supplement Facts
Product Reviews
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite produced when the body initiates the process of converting the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to serotonin. Serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.*
Supplementing with 5-HTP to facilitate serotonin production is preferable to supplementing with L-tryptophan because, unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into niacin or protein production.* Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of L-tryptophan into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin and a step that can be inhibited by a number of factors, including stress, insulin resistance, increasing age, and deficiencies of vitamin C, folate, and iron.
5-HTP is well absorbed when taken orally, with about 70 percent ending up in the bloodstream.*
Intestinal absorption of 5-HTP does not require the presence of a transport molecule and is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, it may be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.* 5-HTP easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and effectively increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.*
5-HTP has been shown to have a beneficial impact on mood, discomfort associated with fatigue, sleep, and carbohydrate craving.* Numerous studies of individuals with negative mood status have shown significant positive response with 50-300 mg of 5-HTP daily.*
To further facilitate serotonin production, Thorne Research's 5-HTP formula contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.* 5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
Two Capsules Contain:
Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate) 6.8 mg.
5-Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide.

Love it
Slimprobio is really helping me to lose weight plus it has so many good probiotics. Really like it.
I am thrilled to have found this.
I have Fibromyalgia. The brain fog I was experiencing was debilitating. There were days that it was nearly impossible to think, speak, or remember what was said moments before. A friend mentioned taking Lion’s Mane. Not long after taking the Mushroom Science brand all those problems disappeared. Another thing that changed was my energy level, which was an added bonus. I am grateful.
Not received
I don't know why but, not recieved. I LOVE the product but, for some unknown reason the USPS said "incomplete address". I believe that email was a scam because they DIDN'T just ask for my address they asked for a credit card number!?!
great product
thytrophin PMG
Works great I feel much better
These Drops are Amazing!
These drops were recommended to me by a Holistic Doctor; they are very easily absorbed and do not cause any somach/gut issues. The combination of D3 and K2 are essential for maturing women and bone health. The drops do not taste like anything so there is no bad taste.
Ricola mountain herb with stivia
I was delighted to find a company carrying my favorite cough drop with the natural sweetener Stevia that does not promote to decay. I’m happy with the product and the company.
Arrives Intact and Complete
I used to order this product from Amazon and it became increasingly difficult to obtain and would arrive with the seal broken and leaking. Village Green has been able to fill every order and the package comes secure and not broken. I appreciate it.

Promotes lean muscle mass and strength, and enhances energy production
Amino Complex is a comprehensive blend of essential amino acids. It is best taken after a workout to help trigger the recovery process. NSF Certified for Sport®
Amino Complex is NSF Certified for Sport®. It supports sports-related, fitness-related, and training-related activities, and it promotes the increase of muscle mass for someone needing that benefit, including the elderly. Amino acid supplementation can decrease fat synthesis, improve redox status, and promote energy production via activation of NRF-2 and PGC-1alpha. Amino acids also promote mitochondrial biogenesis – the body's internal production of energy. The comprehensive blend of essential amino acids in Amino Complex is high in branched-chain amino acids, a group of amino acids that have been validated through numerous clinical trials to promote the growth of lean muscle mass and enhance muscle strength. This active ingredient formulation in Amino Complex is backed by more than 25 years of scientific and clinical research. Amino Complex comes in two flavors, lemon and berry, and is lightly sweetened. It mixes easily with warm or cold liquids, has no artificial sweeteners, and contains flavors only derived from natural sources.
Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
Mix 1 scoop with 6 ounces of water one to two times daily or as recommended by your health professional.
