Serotonin Supplement 5-Htp 100 mg

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a metabolite of the amino acid Tryptophan, a direct precursor of Serotonin, an important neurotransmitter secreted in response to emotional or mood changes.

5-HTP is produced from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a tropical shrub found in West Africa.

5-HTP helps to raise Serotonin levels in the brain, which may have a positive effect on reducing depression, increasing self-esteem, sleep, mood, anxiety, aggressiveness, appetite control, body temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.

Serotonin is present in the cells of the gastrointestinal region, in serotonergic neurons in the brain, in the pineal gland (located near the brain and associated with the production of the sleep-regulating hormone - melatonin - from Serotonin), and in blood platelets.

It is synthesized from Tryptophan, in the brain, gastrointestinal tract, bronchi, thyroid, pancreas, and thymus.

Recommended Use
