Free Aminos — 17 Free-Form Amino Acids Including 5-HTP (100 Vegcaps)
Free Aminos provides a comprehensive blend of 17 naturally occurring amino acids in their free forms — including all 9 essential amino acids — plus L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a direct serotonin precursor.* Free-form amino acids require no digestion and are absorbed rapidly directly into the bloodstream — making this formula ideal for individuals with compromised digestion or those needing rapid amino acid repletion.*
Key Benefits
17 free-form amino acids including all 9 essential amino acids*
Free-form absorption — bypasses digestive breakdown for rapid bioavailability*
Includes 5-HTP — direct precursor to serotonin and melatonin for mood and sleep support*
Supports muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair, and recovery*
Benefits individuals with malabsorption, poor digestion, or protein digestibility issues*
Who Is This For?
Free Aminos is ideal for individuals with digestive compromise (leaky gut, low stomach acid, IBD), those recovering from illness or surgery, vegetarians and vegans who may struggle to get complete protein, people supporting neurotransmitter production (with the 5-HTP content), and anyone needing comprehensive amino acid supplementation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "free form" mean for amino acids?
A: Free-form amino acids are not bound to peptides or proteins — they're individual amino acid molecules that require no enzymatic digestion and are absorbed directly through the intestinal wall, providing the fastest route to the bloodstream.
Q: Can 5-HTP interact with medications?
A: Yes — 5-HTP should not be combined with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or other serotonergic medications without physician supervision due to risk of serotonin syndrome.
Q: Does this contain L-tryptophan?
A: No — this formula contains no L-tryptophan but includes 5-HTP, which is one step closer to serotonin synthesis than tryptophan.
