Nature's Antidepressant 5-HTP is an amino acid derived from the seeds of the Griffonia plant. For years, 5-HTP has been a popular holistic alternative to SSRIs and other pharmaceutical antidepressants that also work on serotonin levels. In addition to supporting mood, 5-HTP has also been found Garcinia to have benefit in regulating sleep and in the management of chronic pain, such as migraine and fibromyalgia. Results from small clinical trials suggest that 5-HTP may promote weight loss by suppressing appetite and reducing caloric intake.*
Benefits of NatureWise 5-HTP Plus+ NatureWise 5-HTP Plus+ can be beneficial in supporting mental wellness as a part of a holistic weight management approach.* Our formula is designed to give an added boost to your weight-loss program by providing the energy needed for motivation, and natural mood ingredients to maintain mood and reduce stress.* Our formula also includes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6, to help catalyze 5-HTP's conversion to serotonin.
Designed to Release When You Need It Many brands of 5-HTP have been reported to irritate the stomach's lining and cause gastrointestinal upset.

DRcaps will not begin to dissolve until they pass through the sensitive stomach area to the intestine, which may prevent or alleviate the discomfort sometimes reported with larger doses of 5-HTP.*
