5-HTP – Neurotransmitter Support
5-HTP or 5-Hydroxytryptophan is an amino acid used by the body to covert tryptophan into the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is often referred to as the “feel good” hormone and low serotonin levels are believed to be responsible for depression, mood swings, and head aches. In some cases low serotonin levels are responsible for insomnia, obesity, anxiety, fibromyalgia and even appetite loss.
The basic building block of serotonin, tryptophan is naturally found in some foods in very small amounts, to really boost your serotonin levels the intermediary 5-HTP is needed.
Tryptophan --> 5-HTP --> Serotonin
5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the West African medicinal plant, Griffonia Simplicifolia.
