5 HTP
I have been taking this during the winter months for the last few years to keep me positive with a serotonin boost when there is a lack of daylight. I would highly recommend.

A natural by-product of L-tryptophan, a building block of protein, 5-HTP is often used to maintain and improve brain function and the central nervous system. It works by increasing the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is otherwise known as the ‘happy chemical.’
Solgar’s 5-HTP capsules are a great source of 5HTP as well as containing extracts of valerian, magnesium and vitamin B6, all known to having a calming and comforting effect on the central nervous system, easing fatigue, regulating sleep patterns and improving mood disorders.
We often try to suggest this supplement to those that are having sleep related stresses or simply suffering from an imbalance in their nervous system. It’s naturally vegan and kosher-friendly making it an ideal option, regardless of dietary restrictions!
