Natural 5-HTP

Natural 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the griffonia simplicifolia, just like the well known supplement 5- HTP. This supplement is composed in such a manner that it can be shipped all over the world legally.
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. 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.

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 also help control your appetite.

Warning

Excess 5-HTP, especially when administered with vitamin B6, causes the liver to metabolize 5-HTP into serotonin, which may result in heart valve damage or disease (cardiac fibrosis). When combined with an MAOi or SSRI, 5-HTP can cause acute serotonin syndrome.
