Twenty of these amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body; these are referred to as \"fundamental amino acids.\" These fundamental amino acids can be further subdivided into the categories \"essential,\" \"semi-essential,\" and \"non-essential.\" \"Essential\" means that the body cannot synthesize the amino acid itself from other amino acids, and that one is completely dependent on food to meet one's daily needs.\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\u003e Preference for 5-HTP over L-tryptophan\u003cbr\u003e There has been over 30 years of experience with dietary supplements containing 5-HTP. This form is highly absorbed, even when taken with meals, and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. 5-HTP does not compete with other amino acids. 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 portion is available as a precursor to serotonin and melatonin. For these reasons, 5-HTP is preferred over L-tryptophan and can be used at significantly lower doses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCompound\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:450px\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dose of 1 capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Griffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Of which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 100 mg \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\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\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition per daily dose of 2 capsules:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Griffonia simplicifolia extract\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 800 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Of which L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 200 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Griffonia simplicifolia extract (naturally contains 5-HTP), anti-caking agent (rice fibre), vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented starch).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a dietary supplement for adults, take 1 to 2 capsules daily between meals or at bedtime with plenty of water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NB:\u003cbr\u003e Do not use in combination with medications that affect brain metabolism, such as antidepressants and tranquilizers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage instructions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store dry, closed and at room temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vitals Nutritional Supplements,\n Reply number 894,\n 1500 VB Zaandam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This product is a dietary supplement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Do not exceed the recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
