5-HTP 50 mg & Melatonin 3 mg 30 Capsules

Sleep is not only a moment of rest, but also a key element affecting our mental and physical health, shaping our quality of life. The dietary supplement 5-HTP 50 mg & Melatonin 3 mg 30 Capsules from SWANSON is designed to support this vital function! It contains two ingredients that work together to improve sleep quality. 5-HTP ( 5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that is formed from tryptophan and is essential for the synthesis of serotonin, known as the happiness hormone. Extracted from the seeds of the African shrub Griffonia simplicifolia, which has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, it is one of the richest sources of 5-HTP. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that is released when darkness falls. As night falls, the level of melatonin in the blood increases, leading to a feeling of sleepiness, reaching its highest concentration between midnight and three o'clock in the morning. After the age of 45, its secretion decreases, so melatonin supplementation may be particularly beneficial for middle-aged and older people.

5-HTP, as an important precursor of serotonin, influences mood regulation and general wellbeing, stabilising emotions, appetite and sleep. Adequate serotonin levels are generally fundamental to maintaining mental balance. Additionally, 5-HTP can help reduce stress and induce a state of relaxation, which promotes restorative sleep. Its biphasic action is to raise serotonin levels and then support melatonin production, so combining it with melatonin seems like a smart solution. Melatonin helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle and is also particularly helpful for jet lag, alleviating the effects of changing time zones when travelling. Melatonin supplementation helps the body adapt to the new diurnal rhythm, making travel less stressful and more comfortable.

Reach for 5-HTP with melatonin and indulge yourself with natural support for your sleep.
