The Lifes Secret’s 5-HTP formula naturally promotes the increase of serotonin levels in the brain to help support better mood, relaxation, sleep and a suppressed appetite. Derived from the seeds of the griffonia plant, 5-HTP is the building block of serotonin – the feel good neurotransmitter that regulates our moods, sleep cycles, and our response to pain. 5-HTP may help you towards your weight loss goals by promoting suppressed appetite. Our formula includes Vitamin B6 to support seratonin conversion and is encapsulated in a delayed release vegetable capsule, which is designed to release when you need it.
