How Does NSI® 5-HTP with B6 Work?
5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptophan, is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin - which is essential for controlling mood, sleep and pain levels. The body produces 5-HTP from tryptophan, an amino acid found in small amounts in high-protein foods such as chicken, fish, beef and dairy products. It can also be taken in supplemental form, in which case it's extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.

5-HTP is believed to help increase serotonin production in the brain, which may positively influence mood. 5-HTP may also help with other health issues related to serotonin deficiency, including nervousness, body tension and stiffness and head cavity discomfort.

Certain elements of sleep are also believed to be affected by 5-HTP. Supplementing may not only assist with falling asleep faster, but also with increasing the duration of dream states (REM sleep) and of deep slumber.

The great news is NSI's 5-HTP formulations are "Peak X" free. "Peak X" was discovered by a group of researchers at the Mayo Clinic to be a contaminant appearing in 5-HTP supplements. It was linked to eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS), a debilitating illness causing an elevated white blood cell count and severe muscle pain.

Vitamin B6 has been added as a complementary nutrient. Its primary function is processing amino acids. Vitamin B6 is also needed to make the hormones, serotonin, melatonin and dopamine.

For best results and quickest absorption, take this supplement on an empty stomach. Do not take 5-HTP for more than three consecutive months without consulting a healthcare practitioner.

NSI® 5-HTP with B6 is better because it:

  • Is in capsule form, which allows for faster absorption
  • Provides 100 mg of 5-HTP and 20 mg of B6—in just 1 daily capsule
  • Supplement Facts
