Low mood, restless sleep, the mental flatness that doesn't quite reach depression but doesn't quite feel like wellness either — these often trace back to low serotonin. 5-HTP is the direct precursor your brain uses to make it.
The formulation
Two capsules deliver 300mg of 5-HTP (150mg per capsule), sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia seed — the traditional West African plant source. Ready for the brain to convert into serotonin without intermediate steps.
Why ours
Most 5-HTP supplements come without guidance on the cofactors that make it work. Taking 5-HTP without adequate B6 and magnesium produces inconsistent results. The molecule itself is straightforward; the protocol around it matters — pair with B6 and magnesium in food or supplements.
How to take it
Two capsules in the evening, ideally on an empty stomach. Do not combine with SSRIs, MAOIs, or other serotonergic medications without medical guidance.
What to expect
Mood and sleep shifts often appear within 2–3 weeks of consistent use.

Benefits
The more serotonin your body produces, the better you feel. 5-HTP is a chemical by-product from L-Tryptophan, an amino acid that’s directly linked to improved mental health and wellbeing. Your body uses this compound to create serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that is responsible for how you feel and function mentally. Remember: wellness is a lifestyle and consistency is key, so make sure you allow up to two weeks to start feeling the full benefits.
• Reduces instances of insomnia
• Improves energy levels by increasing metabolic rate
• Increases serotonin production to improve mood and overall mental health
• Helps prevent and alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders
History
Griffonia simplicfolia (a woody shrub native to West and Central Africa) is bursting with 20% 5-HTP, making it the most concentrated naturally-occurring source of this mood-boosting nootropic. Used for centuries in African cultures to cure mental malaise and other mental health and neurological conditions, it is grown primarily in ancestral African farming communities to this day.

Fresh, Potent, and Effective
Supplements are often packed with unnecessary fillers and additives that don’t offer any health benefits. Essentially, dust. This is why we only use the most potent active ingredients to maintain product purity, function, and effectiveness.
We also Recommend
Persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, tingling in hands or feet — roughly 1 in 6 adults is B12 deficient, and most don't realize it. The risk rises if you're vegetarian, vegan, over 50, on metformin, or on acid-reducing medication.
The formulation
1,000mcg of methylcobalamin — the active, methylated form your body uses directly, without conversion. Paired with Beet Root for the circulation that helps B12 reach the nervous system and the red blood cells it's most needed for.
Why ours
Most B12 supplements use cyanocobalamin — a cheaper synthetic form that requires your body to convert it (and dispose of a cyanide molecule in the process). Methylcobalamin skips the conversion entirely and is the form preferred for anyone with absorption or methylation challenges.
How to take it
One capsule daily, with or without food. Vegan-friendly.
What to expect
Energy and clarity often shift within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use.
You already know you should eat more vegetables. Life just doesn't make it easy. Pure Greens delivers 7,966mg of disclosed plant nutrition per scoop — over 50 whole-food ingredients, every milligram named.
The formulation
1,000mg Spirulina, 1,015mg Inulin prebiotic fiber, plus a full matrix of greens, berries, mushrooms, and adaptogens. No proprietary blends, no synthetic vitamins, no maltodextrin, no fillers. Every ingredient and its dose printed on the label.
Why ours
Most greens powders hide their formulas behind "proprietary blends" that disclose total weight but not the dose of any single ingredient. You don't know if you're getting 5mg or 500mg of what's on the front of the bag. Pure Greens prints every milligram, because if it's worth putting in your body, it's worth knowing the dose.
How to take it
One scoop daily in water, juice, or a smoothie. Best taken in the morning.
What to expect
Energy and digestion shifts often appear within 2–3 weeks of daily use.
Nutrition of 5 servings of fruits & vegetables in one scoop

After 30, your body produces measurably less collagen — and you feel it in your skin, your joints, and your recovery.
The formulation
Each scoop delivers 10g of hydrolyzed Type I marine peptides — the dose used in clinical research on skin elasticity and joint comfort. Sourced from wild-caught cod, haddock, and pollock. Unflavoured, finely milled, no fillers.
Why ours
Most collagen products give you 2.5–5g and call it a serving. We give you the full clinical research dose, every time. Marine Type I is also more bioavailable than bovine and far more effective than plant-based collagen-builders — which don't actually contain collagen, just the amino acids your body might use to make some.
How to take it
One scoop daily in coffee, smoothies, or water. Mixes in seconds at any temperature.
What to expect
Joint comfort often shifts at 4–6 weeks; skin hydration and elasticity changes typically appear at 8–12 weeks. Consistency matters more than timing.
