Description

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) comes from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing shrub native to West Africa with a long history of traditional use. 5-HTP is a precursor in the body's serotonin pathway, a compound involved in the regulation of mood, calm, and sleep.* Double Wood's formula delivers 200mg of 5-HTP per serving, offering a melatonin-free option for those who want to support their evening routine without a hormone-based ingredient.

Every batch is tested. Third-party tests by ISO/IEC 17025-accredited labs. COAs published openly.

5-HTP is not intended to be combined with antidepressant medications, migraine medications, or any medication affecting serotonin without medical guidance, so anyone currently taking prescription medication should speak with their healthcare provider before starting.

The Science Behind 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)

Mood and sleep research. 5-HTP's position directly upstream of serotonin is why it has attracted research interest in relation to mood and sleep.* As with any ingredient working on a pathway this central to brain chemistry, individual response varies, and this remains an area of ongoing research rather than a settled outcome.

Benefits

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)

5-HTP is a naturally occurring compound found concentrated in the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African shrub. In the body, 5-HTP is an intermediate step in the production of serotonin, made from the amino acid L-tryptophan. Because it sits directly upstream of serotonin in this pathway, 5-HTP has been studied for its relationship to mood, calm, and sleep regulation.* Double Wood's formula delivers 200mg of 5-HTP per serving, sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. Every batch is tested. Third-party tests by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs. COAs published openly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 5-HTP and where does it come from?

5-HTP comes from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a shrub native to West Africa. It's a precursor in the body's serotonin pathway, which is why it's commonly used to support mood, calm, and sleep as part of an evening routine.*

What does 5-HTP support?

5-HTP is studied in relation to serotonin-related pathways and is commonly used to support calm, a positive mood, and restful sleep.* It's often chosen by those who want evening support without a melatonin-based ingredient.

When and how should I take 5-HTP?

Take as directed, generally in the evening about an hour before bed, with or without food. Many people find consistency at the same time each night supports a consistent routine.

Why is 5-HTP melatonin-free, and does that matter?

5-HTP works upstream of melatonin in the body's own production pathway rather than supplying melatonin directly. Some people prefer this approach as part of a routine that doesn't rely on a hormone-based ingredient every night.

Can I take 5-HTP with other supplements?

5-HTP is sometimes paired with calming magnesium options like Magnesium Glycinate as part of a broader evening wind-down routine.*

Can I take 5-HTP if I'm on medication?

5-HTP should not be combined with antidepressant medications, migraine medications, tramadol, or St. John's Wort without first talking to your healthcare provider. These combinations can cause a serious interaction. This is one of the more important safety considerations with this ingredient, so please don't skip this step.
