How does 5-HTP Work?
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which is
responsible for mood, hunger amd sleep.
Serotonin levels in the brain effect how
we feel on a day to day basis. When
serotonin levels are low, irregular, or
spiking, the body reacts to these
changes causing discord. 5-HTP works by
increasing the amount of serotonin
produced in the brain. And in fact,
according to Gastpar and Wakelin (1998),
5-HTP is a known precursor to serotonin
which has been proven in many studies.
Serotonin levels have a direct effect on
a persons mood. In fact antidepressant
drugs approved by the FDA, such as
Prozac, are said to work by increasing
the amount of serotonin available to the
brain. 5-HTP works by increasing the
cell’s output of serotonin.
Scientific studies from around the world
have shown 5-HTP to, in addition to aid
in treatment of depression, be effective
in:
- Suppressing
Appetite
- Enhancing
Sleep
- Relieving
Anxiety
- Relieving
symptoms of Seasonal Affective
Disorder
- Cognitive
Enhancement
- Relief From
and Prevention of Migraine Headaches
- Reduction of
the rate of Heart Disease as a
result of Lowering Anxiety and
Depression.
5-HTP is derived
from the seeds of the Griffonia
simplicifolia, a West African
medicinal plant.
Only 5-HTP assayed
at 99.98% pure is used.
