NOW Foods 5HTP 50mg - 30 Veg Capsules
R 319.00
The direct serotonin precursor for mood and sleep.
DIRECT SEROTONIN PATHWAY
5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier and converts directly to serotonin, skipping the rate-limiting tryptophan hydroxylase step.
SLEEP ONSET SUPPORT
Serotonin is the precursor to melatonin, so evening 5-HTP supports both mood and sleep onset.
ANTIOXIDANT PAIRING
Pycnogenol pine bark and citrus bioflavonoids provide vascular-supporting antioxidants that complement 5-HTP's neurotransmitter focus.
MILD MOOD SUPPORT
Useful for mild low mood, late-day cravings, or anxious-tense pre-sleep states that respond to serotonin lift.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- 5-HTP 50mg (from Griffonia simplicifolia seed)
- 5-hydroxytryptophan is the direct precursor to serotonin in the brain. Bypasses the rate-limiting tryptophan hydroxylase step, increasing serotonin synthesis and downstream melatonin production.
- Pycnogenol (French Maritime Pine Bark Extract) 60mg
- A standardised pine bark extract rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins, with research for vascular health, cognitive function, and circulation.
- Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex 600mg
- Plant flavonoids that support capillary integrity and act as supporting antioxidants alongside vitamin C.
Who is it for?
Adults with mild low mood, evening anxiety, late-day food cravings, or trouble falling asleep due to over-active thoughts. Best for short courses rather than years of continuous use.
Why use it?
5-HTP is the most direct nutritional input into serotonin synthesis. Useful when you want a measurable nudge without prescription medication, particularly for mild mood and sleep-onset pictures.
When to use it
Take 1 capsule before bed on an empty stomach. The bedtime dose lets the serotonin-to-melatonin conversion line up with natural sleep onset.
How to use it
1 capsule before bed on an empty stomach. Allow 4 to 6 weeks for mood effects. Take with vitamin B6 for the decarboxylase enzyme cofactor.
Pairs Well With
Strategic Cross-Sell
New Leaf Magnesium Glycinate 120 Capsules
Magnesium Glycinate is a calming cofactor for the same nervous-system pathways 5-HTP modulates. The two stack well for evening wind-down without the prescription-drug interaction risk of 5-HTP plus SSRIs.
