5-HTP, 100mg

Derived from the seed of an African plant (Griffonia simplicifolia), 5-HTP serves as the intermediate metabolite linking the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin. Crossing the blood-brain barrier effortlessly, 5-HTP boosts the central nervous system's (CNS) synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin, influencing aspects like sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation, plays a significant role in conditions such as , anxiety, and aggression. Approved as a natural therapy for fibromyalgia, 5-HTP holds the potential to alleviate pain severity, morning stiffness, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, 5-HTP has demonstrated the capacity to enhance neurotransmitting catecholamines like dopamine and norepinephrine, synthesized from tyrosine. Speculation suggests that increasing tyrosine availability to the brain facilitates enhanced neurotransmitter synthesis, countering the adverse effects of stress. The inclusion of B-vitamins in this formulation offers additional synergistic effects by promoting the metabolism of amino acids.
