Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body, and these are referred to as 'fundamental amino acids'. These fundamental 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 itself from other amino acids, and that to meet daily needs, one is entirely dependent on diet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This product contains L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), extracted 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreference for 5-HTP over L-tryptophan\u003cbr\u003eThere is more than 30 years of experience with 5-HTP food supplements. This form is excellently absorbed, even when taken with a meal, and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. 5-HTP is not hindered by competition with other amino acids. This is because 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 first need to be converted in the body. Moreover, more than 95% of 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 are sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eComposition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\n\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dose of 1 capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eOf which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e100 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\n\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dose of 2 capsules:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e800 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eOf which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e200 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\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\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a food supplement for adults, take 1 to 2 capsules daily between meals or before bedtime with plenty of water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note:\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 dry, sealed, and at room temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVitals Voedingssupplementen, \nAntwoordnummer 894, \n1500 VB Zaandam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product is a food supplement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo not exceed recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
