I started taking Confident Health 5-HTP to help with stress and sleep issues, and it’s been great. I feel more at ease throughout the day and finally getting better sleep at night. It’s also nice knowing I’m using a clean, natural supplement.

What is 5 HTP?

5-HTP is a direct metabolic intermediate between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. 

 

Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP bypasses the rate-limiting step in serotonin synthesis and crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently.

Recommended Dose

As a Sleep Aid

Take 1 to 2 capsules 30-45 minutes before bedtime. Take with food. For Mood Balance: Take 1 capsule 3 times per day. Take with food. 

 

For Weight management

Take 2 to 3 capsules 30 minutes prior to a meal. To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, start dosing at 50-100 mg, 2-3 times per day and slowly increase to effective dose over 2 week period.

 

DURATION OF USE

Mood balance: Use for a minimum of 1 week to see beneficial effects. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks.

Mood and Emotional Balance

5-HTP supplementation has been shown to support mood by increasing serotonin availability in the central nervous system. 

 

Several clinical trials have reported benefit in supporting positive mood in individuals with low baseline serotonin levels (Birdsall, 1998; Shaw et al., 2002).

Sleep Quality

By supporting serotonin, which is a precursor to melatonin, 5-HTP may help regulate sleep-wake cycles and promote restful sleep, especially in individuals experiencing occasional insomnia or stress-related sleep disturbance.

Appetite Regulation

Some studies suggest 5-HTP may support appetite control and promote satiety, possibly by influencing hypothalamic activity related to food intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help
Title

What is 5-HTP, and how does it work?

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring compound that the body uses to produce serotonin—a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation. Supplementing with 5-HTP can help support healthy serotonin levels.

Is this safe for daily use?

Yes, Confident Health 5-HTP is designed for daily use as part of your wellness routine. As with any supplement, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider if you are taking medications or have underlying health conditions.

Does it make you sleepy during the day?

Most people find 5-HTP supports calm without causing daytime drowsiness. It may help with sleep when taken in the evening, but it’s not a sedative.

Is this better than melatonin?

5-HTP supports your body’s natural production of melatonin through serotonin conversion. Unlike melatonin, it doesn’t act as a hormone but rather supports upstream pathways, which some people prefer for more balanced support.

When can I expect to see a difference?

The time it takes to notice a difference from Confident Health 5-HTP can vary from person to person. Some individuals report feeling a calming effect or improved mood within the first few days of use. For benefits like improved sleep quality or appetite regulation, it may take a week or two to notice more significant changes. Consistency is key for optimal results, and we recommend taking the supplement daily as part of your wellness routine for the best outcome.
