Learn about 5-HTP
A natural amino acid found in Griffonia plant seeds, 5HTP is known as a precursor to serotonin - often referred to as the happiness hormone.

“The sidekick to the happiness hormone.” |
Taking 5-HTP supports the production of more serotonin leading to higher levels which may lead to better mood. Serotonin is also great as it is in turn a precursor to melatonin - meaning that the more serotonin you have the more melatonin (the sleep hormone) will be produced leading to better days and better nights. No wonder it is in our Bright Mood coffee.
