5-HTP

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino acid and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin from L-tryptophan. Nustras supplies fermentation-sourced 5-HTP as a white to off-white powder for dietary supplement manufacturing. 5-HTP is also obtained commercially from the seed of Griffonia simplicifolia; the material offered here is produced by fermentation and assayed by HPLC.

5-HTP is formulated into single-ingredient and combination dietary supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, and into blended formulations where a standardised amino acid derivative of defined purity is required.

Appearance: white to off-white powder. CAS 4350-09-8. Purity is standardised to specification and assayed by HPLC; identity is confirmed by HPLC retention time and infrared spectroscopy. Loss on drying, residue on ignition, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies 5-HTP in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot; material of Chinese origin is currently offered. 5-HTP is an accepted supplement ingredient in major markets, with permitted daily levels and labelling conditions that differ by jurisdiction; buyers confirm the status, permitted level and claim for their application.
