5-HTP Power is a blend of three adaptogenic herbs – eleuthero, ashwaganda and suma – along with 5-HTP to help the body adjust to changes. It also contains vitamin B6 and zinc, which support the action of 5-HTP.
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a natural extract obtained from the seeds of the Griffonia plant, a shrub native to Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
B6 – is essential for the biosynthesis of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, as well as the overall health of the nervous system. Sufficient levels of B6 are also necessary to prevent 5-HTP from being converted in the liver. Conversion of 5-HTP outside the brain results in decreased serotonin synthesis.
Zinc – inhibits the premature conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin outside the brain, which is important since serotonin is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier. Adequate zinc levels are also important, as zinc deficiencies have been linked to behavioral and sleep disturbances and mental and physical stress.
Supports sleep quality and duration.
Supports the nervous system and may enhance mood.

There’s nothing better than being outside on a beautiful day. Breathing in the fresh air while basking in the warm sunshine makes you feel good—and it’s doing good within your body too. That sunlight is triggering you to produce Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is essential to the body because of its role in calcium absorption.** Not only does it maintain calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, but it also supports bone density and healthy teeth.** What’s more, Vitamin D helps maintain a healthy immune system and supports neuromuscular function.**
The problem is that we often end up spending a lot of time indoors. On cloudy days, or when the weather’s cold, we don’t get the amount of sun exposure that we’d ideally like. Plus, sunscreen, which is just as important to put on, can inhibit natural Vitamin D production. Fortunately, Vitamin D supplements are an easy option to support bone health.** Puritan’s Pride® Vitamin D3 is a more potent and bioavailable form compared to D2. So when you can’t soak in the rays, taking these supplements of sunshine will provide added support.**
