Product analysis
Double Potency 5-HTP Extra combines ingredients aimed at relaxation, sleep and calmer attention, although the expected effects remain uncertain. Several preparations are unspecified, making it harder to connect the full mixture with findings for particular ingredients.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality20
Most ingredient forms are unspecified, and part of the mixture cannot be assessed confidently. The quality of the combination therefore remains uncertain.
Ingredient Transparency56
Most amounts are stated, but one is omitted and most forms are unspecified. Disclosure of the combined entry’s contents cannot be established confidently.
Value For Money30
The theanine is relatively expensive for the amount provided. Value for the other relevant ingredients remains uncertain, so the full combination is difficult to justify on value alone.
Customer Satisfaction76
Customer feedback is positive across several hundred ratings. The review volume gives context to satisfaction without proving sleep or mood effects.
Product Focus58
The ingredients have overlapping relaxation, sleep and attention purposes. Evidence is limited, and some amounts are below those used in the relevant trials.
