Description*
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that the body naturally produces. Your body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that supports mood and mental health and also sends signals between nerve and brain cells. Ensuring your body has enough Serotonin in the body, helps to maintain a healthy mood.
5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite step in the body, between L-tryptophan and Serotonin. Tryptophan is the compound in turkey responsible for that sleepy, satisfied feeling. Because it is one step closer to serotonin than tryptophan, supplementing with 5-HTP is effective at helping to maintain normal Serotonin levels.
Not only does 5-HTP help raise Serotonin levels in the brain, but Serotonin also goes on to make Melatonin to support restful sleep. Research shows an effective dose of 5-HTP to be between 100-200mg a day to provide natural support for sleep and mental well-being.
