5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural compound that directly converts to serotonin in the brain, enhancing mood, promoting happiness, and helping reduce depressive states. Unlike tryptophan, which has various uses in the body, 5-HTP specifically boosts serotonin production, making it a more effective supplement for increasing serotonin levels.
It’s often used in clinical trials as a benchmark for antidepressant potency. Due to its strong impact on serotonin, consult a physician before use if taking antidepressants. Otherwise, it is safe to take within recommended doses.
- Good mood and calm sleep support
- Supports production of serotonin, which regulates mood, and is a precursor to melatonin
- Naturally derived neurotransmitter which has a beneficial effect on the whole body
- Contains Griffonia simplicifolia
Description
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP – Swanson Ultra)
5-HTP is a powerful supplement that directly converts to serotonin in the brain, enhancing mood, inducing happiness, and promoting a general anti-depressive state. Unlike tryptophan, which the body uses in multiple ways, 5-HTP is solely converted into serotonin, making it a more effective option for boosting serotonin levels.
- Mood and Anxiety Support: 5-HTP is proven to help manage depression and anxiety disorders. It increases serotonin, providing an anti-depressive effect and reducing panic attacks. Even children with night terrors have experienced significant relief.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Combining 5-HTP with other compounds like GABA, valerian, and cocoa polyphenols can increase sleep duration and quality, making it a popular choice for those seeking a natural solution for better sleep.
- Weight Management: 5-HTP supports weight loss by increasing satiety after meals, reducing overall calorie intake. It is especially effective for overweight individuals, helping to combat cravings and maintain a healthier diet.
How to Use 5-HTP:
- Typical Dosage: 50 mg to 500 mg daily, taken once or in divided doses.
- For Enhanced Effects: Pair with green tea or green tea extracts to potentially increase brain bioavailability.
- Safety Note: Generally safe within recommended doses (around 300 mg/day). However, consult a physician if taking antidepressants or other medications.
Conclusion:
As a potent serotonin precursor, 5-HTP offers mood-boosting, anxiety-relieving, and weight management benefits without the side effects typically associated with prescription medications. This makes it a valuable supplement for those seeking natural ways to enhance their mental and physical well-being.
