Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body, referred to as 'essential amino acids'. These essential amino acids can be further divided into the categories 'essential', 'semi-essential', and 'non-essential'. 'Essential' means that the body cannot produce the amino acid from other amino acids, and that one is completely dependent on diet to meet daily needs. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e This product contains L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is the already converted and biologically active form of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. It is the direct precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin and the hormone melatonin. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003ePreference for 5-HTP over L-tryptophan \r\u003cbr\u003eThere has been over 30 years of experience with dietary supplements containing 5-HTP. This form is excellently absorbed, even when taken with meals, and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. 5-HTP does not suffer from competition with other amino acids. It does not require a (shared) transport molecule like other amino acids (including L-tryptophan). Another advantage over L-tryptophan is that 5-HTP does not need to be converted in the body first. Moreover, more than 95% of the ingested L-tryptophan is converted into proteins and other molecules, and only a small part is available as a precursor for serotonin and melatonin. For these reasons, 5-HTP is preferred over L-tryptophan and significantly lower dosages can suffice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eComposition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dosage of 1 capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eOf which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e100 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dosage of 2 capsules:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e800 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eOf which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e200 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia extract (naturally contains 5-HTP), anti-caking agent (rice fibers), vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented starch).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a dietary supplement for adults, take 1 to 2 capsules per day between meals or before bedtime with plenty of water. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eNote:\r\u003cbr\u003eDo not use in combination with medications that affect brain metabolism, such as antidepressants and sedatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage instructions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore in a dry, closed container at room temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVitals Dietary Supplements, \nResponse number 894, \n1500 VB Zaandam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product is a dietary supplement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
