Double Potency 5-HTP Extra is a comprehensive formula designed to support mood and relaxation

Central to this formulation is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a naturally occurring amino acid that is the immediate precursor of Serotonin.* This plant-derived compound sourced from the Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing shrub native to West and Central Africa, helps the body to naturally produce this hormone, helping you attain an improved state of well-being.*

To complement the benefits of 5-HTP, this product also features L-Theanine that helps to increase alpha brain waves thereby supporting relaxation of the mind and body.* This product also includes other botanicals such as Holy Basil and Damiana that have been used in traditional mood formulas and are known for their adaptogenic properties.* This product can be taken daily to help support mood and relaxation, and in doing so, helps promote a more balanced state of mind.*

Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™: Supports Mood and Relaxation

At the center of this formula is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), sourced from the Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing shrub native to Africa. 5-HTP is the intermediate in the natural conversion of the essential amino-acid tryptophan to serotonin, one of the most important brain neurotransmitters. Serotonin is implicated in the regulation of sleep, mood, and other body functions.^[3]

Unlike serotonin, 5-HTP is able to cross the blood-brain barrier to support the body’s natural production of this neurotransmitter. Additionally, taking 5-HTP allows bypassing the conversion of L-tryptophan into 5-HTP, which is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin.

Preliminary research suggests that 5-HTP may help support mood and a more balanced and positive state of well-being.^[4]

Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™: Additional Ingredients

Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™ also supplies vitamin B6. This vitamin plays a key role in multiple energy-producing pathways in the body and is necessary for proper mental and physical functions. It acts as a coenzyme for many reactions, including the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin.^[3]

In addition to 5-HTP and vitamin B6, Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™ includes traditional uplifting botanicals like Rhodiola, Damiana, and Saffron, which have been used in mood support formulas for centuries. Plus, it delivers a generous dose of the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D3, which plays a vital role in mood regulation.^[5]

Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™: Enhances Relaxation

Because stress is a major antagonist to happiness, this formula also includes relaxing herbs and nutrients to help fight the effects of stress and support relaxation.

Double-Potency 5-HTP Extra™ features L-Theanine, which helps increase alpha brain waves, thereby supporting relaxation of the mind and body.^[6]

As a required cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions, magnesium plays an integral role in a wide variety of fundamental cellular activities and metabolic pathways. This mineral is traditionally used and researched to assist with relaxation in the form of releasing muscle tension.^[8,9]

This product also contains botanicals such as Holy Basil, Rhodiola, and Damiana that have been traditionally used for their adaptogenic properties. These herbs are known for their ability to support the body’s natural response to physical and emotional stress. In an animal study, holy basil was shown to significantly decrease levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol.^[10]
