NOW 5-HTP 50 mg – 30 Veg Capsules

NOW 5-HTP 50 mg is a plant-derived amino acid supplement designed to support a positive mood and healthy neurotransmitter function. Each vegetable capsule supplies 50 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan sourced from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, an African plant traditionally used as a natural source of 5-HTP. 5-HTP is the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan and serotonin. This straightforward formula provides a convenient once-daily serving for adults looking to add mood and neurotransmitter support to an evening wellness routine. The 30-count bottle provides a 30-day supply when taken according to the suggested directions, making it a practical starter size for trying 5-HTP for the first time. NOW 5-HTP capsules are vegan, vegetarian, non-GMO, kosher, and halal, and are dairy free, egg free, soy free, nut free, and made without gluten. From a family-owned natural-products company founded in 1968, this quality-focused supplement combines clear labeling, a routine-friendly capsule form, and a carefully measured 50 mg strength. For a longer-lasting supply of the same formula, see NOW 5-HTP 50 mg, 180 Veg Capsules, or try NOW 5-HTP 100 mg Citrus Chewables for a chewable option.

Why Choose NOW Foods

A 30-count bottle is the low-commitment way to start with 5-HTP: one capsule a day at bedtime, a full month to settle into the routine, and a simple formula with just rice flour and a cellulose capsule alongside the Griffonia-derived 5-HTP. It comes from a family-owned natural-products company founded in 1968, produced under GMP quality standards and carrying UL Dietary Supplement Certification, so even the starter size is held to the same quality bar as the larger bottles.

For complementary relaxation support in the same evening routine, consider NOW L-Theanine 100 mg with Decaf Green Tea.
