Product Details
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) has been used to support healthy serotonin levels, a healthy mood, and a healthy sleep cycle. Supplementation with 5-HTP has been shown to increase serotonin levels in the central nervous system. The essential amino acid tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase.
Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP, thus supporting optimal levels of serotonin. 5-HTP also readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it a more efficient precursor for serotonin production. 5-HTP is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of well-being. In addition to supporting a healthy mental outlook and mood, serotonin is also designed to encourage deeper sleep and to support healthy appetite regulation. 5-HTP is extracted naturally from the seed of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.
