NOW Foods 5-HTP 50 mg Griffonia Seed Extract – 180 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods 5-HTP 50 mg provides a plant-derived neurotransmitter support supplement in convenient vegetable capsules. Each capsule supplies 50 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract, offering straightforward once-daily support for a positive and balanced mood. 5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. This connection makes it a popular choice for adults seeking nutritional support for normal neurotransmitter activity and emotional wellness. The moderate 50 mg strength provides a flexible alternative to higher-strength 5-HTP formulas and fits easily into a consistent nighttime routine. Each bottle contains 180 vegetable capsules, providing a long-lasting 180-day supply when taken as directed. NOW Foods manufactures this formula under GMP-certified standards and uses accredited laboratory testing for identity, stability, potency, and formulation. For the extra-strength option, see NOW Double Strength 5-HTP 200 mg, or pair it with NOW L-Tryptophan Powder 950 mg for complementary amino acid support.

Why Choose NOW Foods

A moderate 50 mg dose in a 180-capsule bottle is the value-conscious way to build a consistent nighttime routine: one capsule a day, a full six-month supply, and a simple two-ingredient formula with rice flour and a cellulose capsule. NOW Foods backs it with GMP-certified manufacturing and accredited laboratory testing for identity, stability, potency, and formulation, so the modest dose still comes with serious quality control.

For a smaller starter size of the same 50 mg formula, consider NOW 5-HTP 50 mg, 30 Veg Capsules.
