5-HTP

Composition

• 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) – 100 mg

• Vitamin B6 – 2 mg

• Microcrystalline Cellulose

• Capsule Shell: Gelatin, Purified Water, Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide

Mechanism of Action

• 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) — a naturally occurring compound derived from Griffonia simplicifolia. It serves as an intermediate in biochemical pathways involving amino acids and is used in research to study metabolic and synthetic processes.

• Vitamin B6 — a water-soluble compound involved in numerous biochemical reactions. It is often used in laboratory and industrial contexts where controlled pyridoxine levels are needed.

• Microcrystalline Cellulose — a plant-derived material commonly used for its structural and stabilizing properties in technical formulations.

Technical Properties

• Solubility: The included components vary in solubility depending on pH and solvent conditions.

• Stability: 5-HTP and Vitamin B6 are sensitive to light and moisture; microcrystalline cellulose maintains structural stability under standard storage conditions.

• Reactivity: Each compound participates in characteristic chemical reactions typical of amino acid derivatives, water-soluble vitamins, and cellulose-based materials.
