5-HTP SmartChoice





5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia Simplicifolia.




5-Hydroxy Tryptophan, or 5-HTP, is a precursor to the important neurotransmitter serotonin, which regulates several vital processes in the body including sleep, emotional stability, pain sensitivity and cravings. A deficit of this neurotransmitter can lead to the following complaints: depression, insomnia, anxiety, migraine and an uncontrollable appetite. 5-HTP might help to reduse these complaints.
Many people who reach for ice cream, sweets and pastries when they feel stressed or depressed are instinctively attempting to increase their uptake of tryptophan to elevate their serotonin levels and improve their mood. Unfortunately, it takes large quantities of these "comfort foods" (with their unhelpful fat, sugar and calories) to significantly affect serotonin levels. Taking 5 HTP in the form of a supplement instead, can not only quickly improve your mood, it can even help control your appetite.
Effects
Improves your sense of well-being and helps to reduce insomnia. Clinical studies show that 5-HTP helps to increase levels of serotonin in the brain. A deficit of this neurotransmitter can lead to the following complaints: depression, insomnia, anxiety, migraine and an uncontrollable appetite. 5-HTP can help to reduse these complaints. Because of its relaxing effect, many rely on 5-HTP when confronted with stress-situations such as exams, as well as to encourage restful sleep. It can be taken regularly one hour before retiring as a remedy for insomnia.
