Healthy sleep depends on healthy melatonin/ serotonin, produced by the pineal gland deep within the brain. 5-HTP (L-5 Hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to serotonin and thereby supports healthy levels of this important neurotransmitter. The pineal gland is governed by the circadian rhythm, producing serotonin during daylight hours then shifting to melatonin throughout the evening and night. Thus, combining 5-HTP with pure melatonin provides a two-tier approach to healthy sleep, supporting neurotransmitter production while providing a little extra for enhanced results.
