Question 1

I'm curious why your brand is twice the cost of others. What makes yours better? Legit question.

Accepted Answer

I've asked this question directly to the company. Was an honest question. Hoping to understand the difference but they just quit answering me. I do believe this is a decent company but not so sure they are justified in such a higher price, this also goes for other "professional" brands. I could understand a higher price for better quality but these brands are almost twice the price in most cases. All that being said I do like they are hypoallergenic and not loaded with all kinds of other crap.

Question 2

DOES this product have any fillers?

Accepted Answer

I have been recommended this product from one of the best holistic doctors/psychologists in the United States. IT DOES NOT HAVE FILLERS. This is pure 5-HTP in its purest form. The company is Canadian based and does not add anything to its product period.I do not work for Pure Encapsulations.

Question 3

What is the source (derived from) of the 5htp?

Accepted Answer

The 5HTP in Pure Encapsulations is naturally sourced from griffonia seed.

Question 4

What are the "other" ingredients, usually listed under the ingredients to the supplement?

Accepted Answer

The other ingredients are hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose) and vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water).  The hypoallergenic plant fiber Pure uses is a pharmaceutical grade alpha cellulose derived from purified specialty grades of wood pulp from Southern pine. Due to the nature of the raw material (wood pulp) and the manufacturing process, it does not contain alcohol, grain, corn, corn starch, sulfa, sulfites, animal products or gluten. In addition, it is free of pesticides and heavy metals. There are no known allergens in this plant fiber.  The vegetable capsules  are made from Southern Pine, grown in the US. The pine is pesticide free.
