5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) is a medicinal herb originating from Griffonia simplicifonia, a generic shrub growing in some parts of West and Central Africa. 5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) undergoes thorough drying, extraction, and purification for using as a dietary supplement.
1) 5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) can improve sleep quality, relieve stress, enhance memory, improve concentration, and regulate mood.
5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) is a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid that acts by regulating levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) increases the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, which have nervous system relaxing effects and thus help promote sleep.
In addition, 5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) increases the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and thus psychological stress.
2) 5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) is metabolized in the body to serotonin and melatonin, substances that suppress central nervous system excitability and produce a feeling of relaxation that can help improve insomnia symptoms.
5-Hydroxytryptophan(5-HTP) also affects the concentration of neurotransmitters in the brain, improves short-term and long-term memory, and helps with weight control.
