NOW 5-HTP 50 mg Mood & Neurotransmitter Support – 90 Veg Capsules

NOW 5-HTP 50 mg Veg Capsules provide a convenient source of 5-hydroxytryptophan derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. 5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite between the amino acid tryptophan and serotonin, an important neurotransmitter involved in normal mood regulation. Each vegetable capsule supplies 50 mg in a simple once-daily formula, and its moderate strength offers a routine-friendly option for adults seeking targeted amino acid support without an unnecessarily complex ingredient blend. The suggested bedtime use also makes it easy to incorporate into an established evening wellness routine. For a higher-strength chewable option, see NOW 5-HTP 100 mg Citrus Chewables, or browse the full Vitamins A–Z collection.
