What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP is an amino acid extracted from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia
simplicifola. In the body it is an
intermediate in the conversion of Tryptophan to Serotonin, which makes
it a safe and natural way to balance Serotonin levels.*
In Europe it has been
used for over 30 years for mood balance, quality sleep, weight management
and comfort
for those with headaches and muscle discomfort.*
What is Serotonin?
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter critical for brain function. It helps
regulate muscle movement, alertness, mood, behavior, appetite, activity
level, and sleep quality and is a precursor to Melatonin.
What decreases Serotonin levels?
Stress caused by emotional crisis, inadequate rest and nutrition, excessive
caffeine or alcohol use, and lack of exercise can have serious impact
on the brain's ability to produce serotonin.
Why is Serotonin important?
Low Serotonin levels can lead to problems such as aggression, alcoholism,
anxiety, bulimia, depression, seizures, fatigue, fibromyalgia, seasonal
affective disorder, food and carbohydrate cravings, hyperactivity,
irritability, muscle and bone discomfort, obesity, obsessive compulsive
disorders, panic disorders, premenstrual syndrome, short attention span,
sleep disorders, scattered thoughts, and severe headaches.*
How can 5-HTP
Help?
Supplementing with 5-HTP can successfully raise serotonin levels because
it can serve as a direct building block for serotonin to reduce the negative
consequences associated with low serotonin levels.*
Sleep Quality
Serotonin balances other hormones involved in the production of sleep
and sleep quality, including melatonin.* Studies with 5-HTP show it supports
Rapid Eye Movement time, deep sleep, and dreaming.* Its ability to improve
quality sleep supports greater mental, physical and emotional rejuvenation.*
Comfort
One of the underlying causes of headache discomfort is low serotonin levels.
Supplementing with 5-HTP increases serotonin levels reducing headache
frequency and intensity.*
Mood Balance
Low Serotonin levels in the brain have been linked to the symptoms associated
with low mood.* Studies have shown 5-HTP to be effective in balancing
brain neurotransmitters which supports improved mood.*
Weight Management
and Healthy Appetite
Serotonin plays an important role in regulating appetite and controlling
the feeling of fullness. Studies report that those on 5-HTP felt fuller,
had reduced cravings for sweets and starches, and consumed fewer calories
overall, which shows that it can support weight management and help individuals
adhere to a healthy diet.*
