Confident Health 5-HTP
Confident Health 5-HTP provides a consistent, standardized dose of 100 mg of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) per capsule. Derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, 5-HTP is a naturally occurring precursor to serotonin—a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation.
This formulation is intended for adults seeking nutritional support for emotional well-being, restorative sleep, and healthy serotonin balance as part of a general wellness routine.
Benefits
Studies have examined the use of 5-HTP for a variety of wellness applications:
-
Mood and emotional balance
5-HTP supplementation has been shown to support mood by increasing serotonin availability in the central nervous system. Several clinical trials have reported benefit in supporting positive mood in individuals with low baseline serotonin levels (Birdsall, 1998; Shaw et al., 2002). -
Sleep quality
By supporting serotonin, which is a precursor to melatonin, 5-HTP may help regulate sleep-wake cycles and promote restful sleep, especially in individuals experiencing occasional insomnia or stress-related sleep disturbance. -
Appetite regulation
Some studies suggest 5-HTP may support appetite control and promote satiety, possibly by influencing hypothalamic activity related to food intake.

How It Works
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring compound that the body produces from the amino acid tryptophan. It serves as a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation.
Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP bypasses the rate-limiting enzyme step and crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. Once absorbed, 5-HTP is converted into serotonin within the central nervous system, where it can help support:
- Emotional balance
- Relaxation and stress response
- Sleep-wake cycle regulation
- Healthy appetite signals
Because of its targeted role in serotonin synthesis, 5-HTP offers a focused approach to supporting mood and general emotional well-being—without requiring large doses or complex nutrient stacking.
