With natural 5-hydroxytryptophan from the African black bean
The African black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia) has long been used in traditional African medicine. It contains a considerable amount of the amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is completely converted into serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is also known as the "happiness hormone".
The importance of serotonin
Serotonin is produced by the body itself from the amino acid tryptophan via the intermediate step 5-HTP. The "happiness hormone" is one of the most important neurotransmitters. It regulates the transmission of signals in important areas of the brain and influences our mood, our sleep and our appetite.
As our food contains virtually no serotonin, deficits can only be compensated for by supplying the building blocks. It has been shown that 5-HTP is much more effective than tryptophan.
The majority of 5-HTP is metabolised to serotonin by so-called enterochromaffin cells in the intestine. The serotonin produced is released into the bloodstream, but cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, special nerve cells in the brain ensure the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin.

Instructions for use of EnergyVital
5-HTP is a very effective substance. Taking large quantities can quickly cause nausea. Therefore, as a "newcomer", it is essential to start with small quantities. 100 mg at once is only recommended for people who are familiar with the substance and know that they can tolerate this amount. For "beginners" we recommend the lower-dose 5-HTP from Natur Vital. Or simply start with one capsule instead of 2 capsules.
Storage instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from light (not in the fridge).
