5-HTP Serotonin Support
Across continents and traditions, people have sought natural ways to support emotional balance and restful sleep. For centuries, certain plant extracts and diets were observed to promote a sense of well-being, unknowingly nourishing the body’s own chemistry. The brain, our master organ, relies on dedicated chemical messengers to regulate everything from mood and appetite to sleep architecture. One of the most crucial is serotonin, the chief regulator of satisfaction and calm.
Our supplement focuses on 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan), a compound naturally produced by the body. 5-HTP acts as the direct metabolic step before serotonin, providing a focused, clean, and holistic way to support the body’s intrinsic regulatory system. By supplying this essential intermediate, we support the capacity of the brain’s neurons to produce and maintain healthy serotonin levels, thereby nurturing an optimal state of emotional resilience and well-being.
This approach pairs best with habits that nourish the nervous system—structured rest, quality nutrition, movement, and stress-reduction techniques—so chemistry and lifestyle pull in the same direction.

DETAILED INGREDIENTS LIST
5-HYDROXYTRYPTOPHAN (FROM GRIFFONIA SIMPLICIFOLIA SEED EXTRACT)
Introduction & History:
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid and an immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of the crucial neurotransmitter serotonin. The compound is isolated from the seeds of the African medicinal plant Griffonia simplicifolia, which has been used in folk traditions for its perceived mood-supportive properties.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
5-HTP is the active metabolite created from L-Tryptophan (an essential amino acid) and is then rapidly converted to serotonin (5-HT) in the brain and nervous tissue. It efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier and is not subject to the rate-limiting steps that govern L-Tryptophan conversion. By supplying the direct precursor, 5-HTP helps ensure the necessary building blocks are available for serotonin synthesis. Serotonin regulates mood, social behavior, appetite, digestion, sleep, and memory.
Modern Use & Theory:
5-HTP is supplemented to support the maintenance of normal serotonin levels, promoting a sense of emotional balance, positive mood, and healthy sleep cycles.
CALCIUM (AS CALCIUM CARBONATE)
Introduction & History:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and has been recognized for centuries as vital for bone health. Beyond its structural role, calcium’s importance in cellular signaling was recognized in the 20th century. Calcium carbonate is a common, well-established source of dietary calcium.
Molecular Function & Mechanism:
In the context of the nervous system, calcium ions are essential for the release of neurotransmitters. When an action potential reaches the end of a neuron, the influx of calcium ions triggers the vesicles containing serotonin and other neurotransmitters to fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents into the synapse. It is a fundamental mechanism in neuronal communication.
Modern Use & Theory:
Calcium is included to support general mineral status and the fundamental cellular mechanisms required for healthy neurotransmitter release and nervous system function.
