Ingredients explained
5-HTP (L-5-Hydroxytryptophan from standardised Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract)
5-HTP is converted into serotonin in the body, which may support balanced neurotransmitter activity linked to mood and relaxation.
Caution: May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or alcohol, and consider bedtime use if feeling sleepy.
Valerian extract (4:1) (Valeriana officinalis) (root)
Valerian root contains valerenic acids that may interact with GABA pathways to promote a calming effect.
Caution: Can increase drowsiness; use caution with other calming agents and avoid before tasks needing alertness.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride and pyridoxal 5' phosphate)
Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme in neurotransmitter synthesis, including the conversion steps related to serotonin production.
Caution: High intakes over time may cause nerve tingling in some people; keep to suggested use unless advised otherwise.
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide and magnesium glycinate)
Magnesium supports normal nerve signalling and muscle relaxation by regulating ion channels and neurotransmitter activity.
Caution: May loosen stools in sensitive individuals; taking with food can improve tolerance.
How they work together
5-HTP supplies the direct precursor to serotonin, while vitamin B6 serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Valerian works on GABA-related calming pathways, and magnesium contributes to normal neuromuscular relaxation, offering complementary support for winding down.
