Ingredients explained
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)
5-HTP is converted to serotonin in the body, which may influence mood, appetite, and sleep-wake signalling.
Caution: May interact with medicines that affect serotonin, so consult a professional if using antidepressants, migraine medicines, or Parkinson’s medicines; avoid combining with L-tryptophan or other 5-HTP to reduce risk of excessive serotonin.
Calcium (as dibasic calcium phosphate)
Calcium acts as a cellular signalling mineral and contributes to normal neurotransmitter release and muscle function.
Caution: High total calcium intake from multiple sources may cause digestive discomfort; separate from high-iron supplements if sensitive, as minerals can compete for absorption.
How they work together
5-HTP supplies the direct precursor to serotonin, while calcium participates in cellular signalling involved in neurotransmitter release. Together, they provide substrate and supportive mineral signalling for serotonin-related pathways.
