PhytoCalm® Forte contains the following herbs and minerals:
Griffonia Seed – this West African plant is known for its high concentration of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid that serves as a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep, appetite, and pain sensation. Vitamin B6 is also added as it is an essential cofactor for the enzyme (aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase) that converts 5-HTP to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, anxiety, and restful nights.
Magnesium L-threonate Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body, with roles in nerve function, muscle control, blood pressure regulation, and much more.
