A well-formulated 100mg 5-HTP with added B6 and C to enhance efficacy, though it comes at a higher price per serving.
This Nature's Way 5-HTP product stands out by including Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C alongside its 100mg 5-HTP from Griffonia. Nutritionists often recommend these cofactors as they are crucial for the efficient conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin and subsequently, melatonin, potentially enhancing the supplement's effectiveness for mood, stress, and sleep. While the inclusion of these beneficial vitamins is a significant advantage, the price per serving is relatively high compared to some other 100mg 5-HTP options, especially those without the added vitamins. Despite the higher cost, the thoughtful formulation makes it a more comprehensive approach.
- Includes Vitamin B6 and C, essential cofactors for 5-HTP conversion and enhanced efficacy.
- Provides a good 100mg dose of 5-HTP.
- From a reputable brand.
- Higher price per serving compared to basic 5-HTP products.
- As with all 5-HTP, individuals on SSRIs or other psychiatric medications should consult a doctor due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.

Categories
5-HTP 87.0
This product is a strong contender in the 5-HTP category due to its inclusion of essential cofactors (B6 and C) which optimize the 5-HTP pathway, making it a more thoughtfully formulated and potentially more effective option than many plain 5-HTP supplements.
Goals
Mood Support 88.0
The synergistic effect of 5-HTP with B6 and C is excellent for mood support, as these vitamins facilitate optimal serotonin synthesis. This makes it a highly effective choice for improving mood.
Stress Relief 85.0
The combination of 100mg 5-HTP with B6 and C offers enhanced support for stress relief by optimizing serotonin production, making it more effective than basic 5-HTP formulations, despite the higher cost.
Sleep Support 85.0
By supporting the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin and then melatonin, the added B6 and C make this product more potent for sleep support compared to 5-HTP alone, justifying its inclusion.
