Ingredients explained
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) from Griffonia simplicifolia seed
5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, which the body converts via decarboxylation to support serotonin levels involved in mood and sleep-wake regulation.
Caution: May interact with medicines that affect serotonin; avoid combining with antidepressants or other serotonin-supporting supplements because excessive serotonin activity may cause adverse effects.
Calcium
Calcium acts as a cellular signalling mineral that supports normal nerve transmission and muscle function.
Caution: Take with food if you experience stomach upset, and separate from certain medicines if advised on their labels due to potential absorption interference.
How they work together
5-HTP supplies the direct building block for serotonin, while calcium supports normal nerve signalling that underlies neurotransmitter activity.

Do not use with other supplements containing L-tryptophan or 5-HTP. Stop use if adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People taking antidepressants, migraine medicines, Parkinson’s medicines, or psychiatric medicines may need extra caution due to potential serotonin-related effects.
