Vitamart's Take

5-HTP is the step between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, and Progressive's version delivers a clean 100 mg per capsule from Griffonia simplicifolia seed. The capsule has an enteric coating, and the coating is vegetarian too. It's a versatile product — used through the day for mood balance or before bed as a sleep aid. Because it works on serotonin, check with a practitioner first if you take any mood or serotonergic medications.

How Progressive 5-HTP Compares

5-HTP vs. L-tryptophan

L-tryptophan is an amino acid the body converts into 5-HTP. 5-HTP is the next step along the path to serotonin.

5-HTP vs. melatonin

Melatonin directly signals the sleep-wake cycle. 5-HTP is a serotonin precursor that is used both for mood balance and as a sleep aid.

Enteric-coated vs. standard capsules

An enteric coating is designed to let the capsule pass through the stomach before it releases its contents. Progressive uses a vegetarian enteric coating on every capsule.
