5-HTP Standardized Griffonia Extract 100 mg
Description
L-5-hydroxytryptophan (a.k.a. 5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin, from tryptophan
Functions
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found primarily in the gastrointestinal tract, platelets and central nervous system. Almost 90% of the human body's total serotonin is located in the alimentary canal, where it is used to regulate peristalsis. In the central nervous system, neurons use serotonin to regulate various functions including mood, appetite and sleep. In humans, serotonin levels are affected by diet, specifically carbohydrate intake and the amino acid, tryptophan. Increased intake of tryptophan or its metabolic intermediate, 5-HTP, may increase serotonin levels and help support healthy mood and appetite as well as sleep through its role in serotonin
Indications
5-HTP may be a useful dietary supplement for those who want to support healthy normal mood and sleep
