About this supplement
AOR’s Tryfonia is L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. 5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan, and an essential raw material of the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin and the neurohormone melatonin. Research supports a role for 5-HTP in supporting mood balance, ease of sleep, and the proper tone of the muscles on the back of the neck, and resulting changes in blood flow and pain fibers

From AOR
Research-led supplements from a Calgary family company, since 1991
Advanced Orthomolecular Research, or AOR, has been formulating in Calgary since 1991 with an unusual habit of publishing the science behind each product. They were first to market with several ingredients that are common now. Our clinic practitioners lean on AOR for targeted formulas like Ortho-Adapt and Advanced B Complex.
