Ingredients explained
5-HTP (L-5-Hydroxytryptophan) from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract
5-HTP is converted to serotonin in the body, which may support neurotransmitter balance linked to mood and relaxation.
Caution: May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or alcohol when using because it can enhance sedative effects.
Valerian extract (4:1) (Valeriana officinalis) (root)
Valerian root contains valerenic acids and related compounds that interact with GABA pathways, which may promote calm and ease tension.
Caution: Can increase drowsiness; use at bedtime if sensitive and avoid combining with other sedatives.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl and pyridoxal 5' phosphate)
Vitamin B6 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, including the conversion steps related to serotonin production.
Caution: High intakes from multiple supplements may cause nerve tingling in rare cases; keep total daily intake in a reasonable range.
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide and magnesium glycinate)
Magnesium supports nerve and muscle relaxation and participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions related to stress and neuromuscular function.
Caution: May loosen stools in some people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
How they work together
5-HTP provides the direct precursor for serotonin, while vitamin B6 supports the enzymatic steps involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Valerian influences calming GABA pathways, complementing serotonin-related relaxation. Magnesium adds neuromuscular calm and helps ease tension for a balanced relaxation profile.
