NOW Foods Double Strength 5-HTP 200 mg – 60 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods Double Strength 5-HTP 200 mg delivers comprehensive neurotransmitter and positive mood support in a convenient vegetable capsule. Each capsule contains 200 mg of 5-HTP derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract, twice the amount found in the brand’s regular-strength 100 mg formula. 5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite between the essential amino acid tryptophan and serotonin. This formula combines it with 100 mg each of free-form glycine, taurine, and inositol, plus 20 mg of niacin (vitamin B3) and 2 mg of vitamin B6, to complement a balanced nighttime wellness routine and support normal nervous system function. With one capsule per serving and 60 servings per bottle, this formula offers straightforward daily use for adults seeking extra-strength mood and neurotransmitter support. For the moderate-strength option, see NOW 5-HTP 50 mg, 180 Veg Capsules, or pair it with NOW Double Strength L-Theanine 200 mg for complementary relaxation support.

Why Choose NOW Foods

Doubling the 5-HTP to 200 mg per capsule is only part of the story: this formula also adds glycine, taurine, and inositol at 100 mg each, plus vitamins B3 and B6, so the single bedtime capsule covers more than 5-HTP alone. NOW Foods makes and quality-tests it in the USA with globally sourced ingredients under GMP-certified standards, in a clean vegan formula with no gluten, soy, dairy, egg, or nut ingredients.

For a single-ingredient amino acid option in the same routine, consider NOW Taurine Powder 875 mg.
