What is in Formula 5 HTP?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-Htp | 200 mg | Higher than 88% of 676 products listing 5-HTP (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 600 mg. | |
| Ascorbic Acid | 50 mg | 56%* | 77% of 18,583 products listing vitamin C give more (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 150 mg. |

* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
