What the Label Data Shows

5-HTP L-5-Hydroxy-Tryptophan 100 mg is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a amino acid/protein supplement built from 7 ingredients from Puritan's Pride, sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 4 nutrient categories, mineral, amino acid, protein, fiber, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 7-ingredient formula, 7 of 7 carry no FDA reference-intake value, typical for a formula this size: larger blends tend to pull in botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds without an assigned Daily Value. Breadth like this isn't a red flag by itself.

Availability status shapes how this label record is best used. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2023-06-22. On-market products are currently being distributed in the United States, though the DSLD does not verify the accuracy of label claims or evaluate safety or efficacy.
