Swanson 5-HTP & Melatonin, 30 Capsules
UPC: 087614027647
Swanson's 5-HTP & Melatonin is a dietary supplement designed to support sleep by combining two ingredients that work on different aspects of the sleep-wake cycle. It provides 50 mg of L-5 HTP from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract, which is a precursor to serotonin, and 3 mg of melatonin, a hormone involved in regulating circadian rhythms. The manufacturer describes this as a two-tiered approach, where 5-HTP supports serotonin production—a neurotransmitter that can influence mood and serve as a precursor to melatonin—while melatonin directly aids in promoting a normal sleep schedule.
This product is formulated for use before bedtime, with the suggested use being one capsule taken with water half an hour prior to sleep. It is available in a 30-capsule package, with each capsule containing rice flour, gelatin, and magnesium stearate as other ingredients. The manufacturer notes it is Non-GMO and Dairy Free, which are common certifications in this category. Practical details include a warning against use with alcohol or before driving due to potential drowsiness, and it is intended for adults only, with recommendations to consult a healthcare provider for those with medical conditions or on medications.
