5-HTP Plus - An improved version of our 5-HTP
5-HTP Plus 200mg + Vitamins C & B6 from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement based on Griffonia simplicifolia and vitamins.
In tablet form, standardized to 25% 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Its composition has been enriched with vitamin C and vitamin B6, two essential micronutrients involved in energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system. 5-HTP is a compound naturally found in the seeds of Griffonia, a legume native to West Africa. For the formula development, we selected a quality extract that preserves the natural identity of the plant’s seeds and guarantees a 25% 5-HTP concentration thanks to our careful extraction process. Through a carefully controlled 15:1 extraction process, a stable, pure product free of animal traces is obtained.
Each serving delivers a perfect dose of 200 mg of 5-HTP, with vitamin C and B6 in balanced proportions to ideally optimize their complementary action.
A formulation designed for balance
We’ve chosen nutrients selected for their functional synergy in the formula, reflecting the holistic approach of the 'Plus' version of our 5-HTP. While the Griffonia simplicifolia extract provides plant-based 5-HTP, vitamins C and B6 complete the formula with nutritional properties linked to key processes related to the nervous system and psychological function.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function, as well as helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Meanwhile, vitamin B6 participates in normal energy metabolism and also supports psychological function and nervous system function, helping you out day to day.
The result is a combination designed for those looking for a supplement that goes beyond, with quality guarantees and carefully selected raw materials.

A new generation of 5-HTP
This updated version of the product includes an improvement in the standardization of the Griffonia simplicifolia extract, now at 25% 5-HTP, an optimal concentration for nutritional balance. The tablet format replaces the vegetable capsules of our original version, offering a more convenient way to use it with just 1 unit needed daily.
The vitamin B6 content has been adjusted to 7 mg to strengthen the nutritional profile of the formula without interfering with the use of other products that may contain significant amounts of this vitamin. Now 5-HTP Plus is fully compatible with multivitamins and other vitamin formulas.
Is this formula for me? Why choose it?
5-HTP Plus 200mg + Vitamins C & B6 represents an evolution within the category of 5-HTP-based supplements. Its development responds to the growing demand for more advanced products that are versatile and developed with a 'clean' approach. It’s not just about formulating a 5-HTP product to which 'vitamins are added,' but about selecting, dosing, and implementing them in the formula with rigor. All this with the quality raw material selection that characterizes HSN products.
With a fully plant-based composition, free from allergens and compatible with vegan diets. The result is a supplement that easily fits into any routine and meets the highest quality standards.
It’s a supplement developed for adults who want to add a 5-HTP-based formula to their daily routine but aren’t satisfied with just 'the basics', wanting something that goes further, with a clean and transparent composition.
Do you consider yourself someone who values ingredient quality, precision in formulation, and the absence of any 'fillers' that unnecessarily complicate the ingredient list? Then this is for you!
An ally in your nighttime routine
We recommend taking 5-HTP Plus 200mg + Vitamins C & B6 before bedtime, as this time of day is best to take advantage of the nutrients working synergistically before your night’s rest.
Also, taking it before sleep helps make it easier to remember. Thanks to its tablet format, pre-dosed, taking it is more convenient than ever, with no need to weigh powders, and it disintegrates quickly even with its coating agent that facilitates smooth ingestion.
It can be combined with many other products commonly used at night like theanine, gaba, or melatonin to create a more complete routine. Daily use over a prolonged period is key to fully benefit from the nutritional properties of 5-HTP.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What differences does this new version have?
This version maintains the total amount of 5-HTP (200 mg), but comes from a new Griffonia extract raw material, with a new 25% standardization. Also, the new tablet format is more comfortable and practical as it only requires one unit and is coated, while vitamin B6 is adjusted to 7 mg for a more balanced dosage and to facilitate compatibility with other products.
Why was Griffonia simplicifolia extract chosen?
Griffonia simplicifolia is the main natural source of 5-HTP and is naturally grown in tropical regions. Its extract allows obtaining a plant-based and natural compound, without chemical synthesis, ensuring authenticity and botanical tradition.
Can I use it at another time of day?
Yes, it’s possible to use the formula at times other than strictly at night, but we recommend keeping the nighttime intake as it’s the moment when 5-HTP use fits best.
