Replenish serotonin levels to enhance your mood, sleep and much more!
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced in the body that plays a key role in the central nervous system, relaying brain signals between brain cells, and overall functioning of the body.
Unfortunately stress and aging can cause serotonin production to decline - and
low serotonin has been associated with conditions like:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Moodiness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Hunger cravings
- Poor digestion
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical the body makes from tryptophan, an essential amino acid, which then converts chemically to serotonin. Since serotonin helps regulate mood and behavior, 5-HTP may have a positive effect on sleep, mood, anxiety, appetite, and pain sensation.*
Derived from the seeds of the Griffonia Simplicifolia plant that grows in West Africa, preliminary studies indicate that 5-HTP may work as well as certain antidepressant drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa, and Elavil to treat people with mild-to-moderate depression.*
Studies also suggest that 5-HTP may lessen alcohol withdrawal symptoms, aid in emotional eating behaviors and may improve sleep, fatigue and morning stiffness due to fibromyalgia.*
