Restful sleep is important for the regeneration of body and mind. Sleep problems can have negative effects on our health and many aspects of our daily lives. The results of a sleep deficit can include moodiness, reduced activity levels, lack of concentration, and long-term health problems. 5-HTP can help to induce natural sleep.
The carefully balanced formulas by Vitality Nutritionals provide holistic support. The use of high-quality, standardized ingredients ensures that these are always contained in a consistent, highly bioactive dosage.
Vitality Nutritionals formulations are free from impurities, articial flavourings and artificial sweeteners. Vegan or vegetarian ingredients are used where possible, and every product is non-GMO.
Sleep problems have become an epidemic. In surveys, one in two women and one in four men report suffering from a sleep-related problem. The number one cause is said to be career stress, closely followed by family problems or health issues.

The 5-HTP in the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules comes from an extract of the seeds of the African black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia).
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a compound that occurs naturally in the body as an intermediate formed from the amino acid L-tryptophan.
Each 5-HTP 100 mg capsule contains 100 mg of 5-HTP from Griffonia seed extract, standardised to 25% 5-HTP. In addition, there are five micronutrients:

The 5-HTP 100 mg capsules combine 5-HTP with vitamin C, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, zinc, and magnesium. The following claims for these nutrients are approved in the EU:
The 5-HTP 100 mg capsules contain vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P-5-P), which is the active form of the vitamin. The other nutrients are found in these forms:
The recommended intake for the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules is: 1 to 2 capsules daily with a glass of water, taken in the evening before bedtime. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are taking other products containing 5-HTP, vitamin B6, or zinc, add up the amounts.
Containing 100 mg per capsule, the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules are a good choice for those starting out. Many people start with 1 capsule a day and then adjust the amount within the recommended intake. If you're unsure, it's best to ask your doctor or pharmacist.
The two products differ in terms of quantity, formulation, and pack size:
People who prefer a lower dose or a combination with micronutrients are more likely to choose the 100 mg version.
"Peak-X-free" means that the 5-HTP in the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules has been tested for a specific impurity and does not contain it. In the past, "Peak-X" has been detected in the laboratory in some tryptophan and 5-HTP raw materials. It is purely an indicator of purity.
No, the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules do not contain any of the allergens that must be labelled. Among other things, they are free from gluten, lactose, soy, egg, nuts, peanuts and yeast. However, the formula does contain a small amount of coconut milk powder and maize starch. If you are sensitive to these, please take note of this.
Yes, the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules are small and purely plant-based. Most people can swallow them easily with a glass of water.
If you are taking prescription medications that affect the psyche, such as antidepressants, please only take the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules after consulting your doctor. If in doubt, it is better to ask again.
Most people tolerate the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules well when taken in the recommended amount. Flatulence, loose stools or fatigue have occasionally been reported. If the dose is too high, temporary nausea, headaches or restlessness may occur. Some customers report that they tolerate the capsules better at a different time of day. If you notice anything unusual, stop taking the capsules and talk to your doctor.
In principle, the 5-HTP 100 mg capsules can be combined with L-tryptophan or melatonin. Since the substances are related to one another, you should then keep the individual amounts low and check the combination with your doctor beforehand, especially if you are taking medication.
No. The 5-HTP 100 mg capsules are a dietary supplement and not a medicine. They are not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, nor for medical treatment. If you have symptoms that persist for a long time, please have them checked by a doctor.
