Highlights:

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) acts as a precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with feelings of well-being.

ood and Comfort

Adequate levels of serotonin are associated with a sense of calmness and relaxation. Several studies have demonstrated that 5-HTP supports a healthy frame of mind, good energy levels, comfortable movement and restful sleep.

Sleep Support

Clinical studies have shown 5-HTP helps to maintain healthy sleep regulation.5-HTP improves quality of sleep by extending the rapid eye movement (REM) phase as well as increasing the deep sleep stages of non-REM sleep without increasing total sleep time. In addition, 5-HTP promotes the release of melatonin by the pineal gland inside the brain and increases the length of REM. In children, supplementation with 5-HTP may help support peaceful sleep and decrease the incidence of night terrors. 5-HTP has also been found to raise plasma cortisol levels, causing a transient increase in growth hormone (at 150 mg dose) and, in men only, to support healthy levels of thyroid stimulating hormone.

Appetite Regulation

5-HTP has been found to assist with carbohydrate cravings. 5-HTP is known to support normal hypothalamic regulation, which includes appetite homeostasis. Reduced carbohydrate intake and improved satiety was observed following 5-HTP administration.

 

Clinical Applications:

  • Offers assistance in the production of serotonin
  • Encourages a balanced and positive emotional state
  • Aids in maintaining a regular appetite
  • Promotes healthy and more profound sleep
Stressful lifestyles and inadequate diets often lead to a reduction in serotonin levels. For many years, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) has been utilized to restore serotonin levels and promote a balanced mood and regulation of sleep patterns. Research has demonstrated that supplementing with 5-HTP can elevate serotonin levels in the central nervous system. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is transformed into 5-HTP through the action of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Several factors, such as stress, insulin resistance, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency, and insufficient magnesium levels, can inhibit tryptophan hydroxylase. By directly supplementing with 5-HTP, the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP is bypassed, thus supporting optimal serotonin levels. Furthermore, 5-HTP easily crosses the blood-brain barrier without competing with other amino acids, making it a more efficient precursor for serotonin production.

5-HTP is an amino acid that holds a significant role in serotonin production, a neurotransmitter closely linked to a sense of well-being. Beyond promoting a positive mental state and mood, scientific studies have also indicated that serotonin encourages improved sleep quality and helps regulate a healthy appetite. Unlike oral serotonin, 5-HTP has the ability to effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier, stimulating serotonin synthesis within the central nervous system. It's naturally derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.
