Biotics Research Neuro-5-HTP Plus, 5-HTP with Cofactors for Mood and Neurotransmitter Support, 90 Capsules
NOW 5-HTP 100mg Details
Natural Source
Supports Positive Mood
Vegetarian Formula
5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, is extracted from the bean of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia).
AOR 5-HTP 100mg Extra Strength Details
5-HTP Extra Strength is L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. 5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan and an essential precursor of the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin and the neurohormone melatonin. Research supports the role of 5-HTP in supporting mood balance, ease of sleep, and the proper tone of the muscles on the back of the neck, resulting in changes in blood flow and pain fibers.
5-HTP is primarily used to support mood through its ability to boost serotonin levels. Since serotonin and melatonin are also involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle, 5-HTP may enhance sleep quality. Research also supports the role of 5-HTP in reducing headaches and the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Studies in Spain and Italy found that 5-HTP was comparable to the drug methysergide in alleviating the symptoms of migraines (over 70% in both groups) while eliciting considerably fewer side effects. Several clinical trials have confirmed significant improvements in symptoms, including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness, and fatigue. Ultimately, those who suffer from nervousness, mood imbalances such as anxiety, fibromyalgia, or sleep disorders may benefit from taking 5-HTP. 5-HTP Extra Strength is twice the strength of regular 5-HTP.

Vitamart's Take
SISU 5-HTP gives you 100 mg of 5-HTP per capsule from Griffonia seed, one of the most common natural sources. SISU's label focuses on fibromyalgia symptoms and tension headaches, and the company also points to mood balance, sleep and carb cravings. It's a simple single-ingredient formula. One thing to know: the capsule shell is gelatin, so it isn't suitable for vegetarians.
How SISU 5-HTP Compares
5-HTP vs. L-tryptophan
L-tryptophan is an amino acid the body converts into 5-HTP, which is then converted into serotonin. 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin.
5-HTP vs. melatonin
Melatonin is the sleep hormone itself. 5-HTP supports serotonin, which plays a role in mood, appetite and sleep. SISU Melatonin 10mg is the more direct choice for shift work and jet lag.
5-HTP vs. other mood supplements
Mood support formulas may combine several herbs and nutrients. SISU 5-HTP is a single ingredient at a clear 100 mg dose.

CanPrev 5-HTP Description
Sleeping well and feeling good are two of life’s necessities that keep us healthy and happy. But sometimes we need a little help maintaining both, and if we can get relief from a single source, all the better. CanPrev’s 5-HTP 100 is formulated from three key ingredients that work synergistically to promote restful sleep and healthy mood. 5-HTP 100 also works to help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia (pain, anxiety, morning stiffness and fatigue) and reduce the severity and duration of migraine and tension headaches when taken as a preventative. Can one product do all that? Absolutely.
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a compound made in the body from the amino acid, tryptophan, that you get from eating protein-rich foods. Once in the 5-HTP state, it goes on to form serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and behaviour, and then is further metabolized into melatonin. Yes, you can depend on tryptophan as a precursor to the development of serotonin, (think protein-rich hot chocolate before bed) but research has shown 5-HTP to be much more efficient at delivering the feel-good hormone to the brain.
Serotonin guided by tryptophan on its own is not able to break through the blood brain barrier (your brain’s defense system for keeping out foreign substances) but 5-HTP can. It acts as the password for serotonin to get past the security gates and flood the brain with its mood lifting and sleep inducing properties.
CanPrev’s 5-HTP 100 is sourced from the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia and enhanced with Vitamin B6 and Magnesium which are important cofactors to help the body convert and utilize 5-HTP.
