  • Thorne Research 5-Hydroxytryptophan 90 caps Thorne Research 5-Hydroxytryptophan 90 caps

    Description5-HTP helps increase serotonin levels to support sleep, stress response, and decrease sugar cravings.* It contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. L-tryptophan and 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) are both precursors to serotonin; however, supplementation with 5-HTP may be preferable because, unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into other uses in the body such as niacin or protein production. 5-HTP is well absorbed by the body, and 5-HTP can be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.Mood*Sleep* Dietary ConsiderationsGluten Free Suggested UseTake 1-2 capsules three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

5-HTP Products

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. 5-HTP is also known as oxitriptan and helps to calm anxiety, improves mood, controls appetite, and is used as a sleep aid.

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is produced as a by-product of L-tryptophan, which is a protein building block. It can also be created by using the seeds of a plant from Africa known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP supplements work within the brain and through the central nervous system by causing an increase in serotonin production. Serotonin is a natural chemical that has the ability to affect your experience of pain, sleep patterns, sexual behavior, temperature, appetite, and moods.

Because 5-HTP causes an increase in serotonin synthesis, 5-HTP supplements are very useful in dealing with various conditions such as obesity, insomnia and other sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and other mood related disorders, migraine headaches, tension headaches, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia, premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphonic disorder, seizure disorders and even Parkinson's disease.

It is important to consult your physician before using these supplements. By following the advice of your health care professional and using high quality 5-HTP supplements from Vita Living, you can be sure of having a positive experience with 5-HTP.
