THE NATURAL WAY TO BOOST SEROTONIN AND OVERCOME DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

5-HTP (5 hydroxytryptophan) is a metabolite (a substance produced by metabolism) of the amino acid tryptophan.
5-HTP is a direct precursor of the important inhibitory neurotransmitter serotonin, which is secreted in response to mood or emotion swings.
Serotonin soothes and calms and brings about feelings of contentment. It is also the precursor to the antioxidant and sleep enhancer called melatonin, which is produced in the pineal gland by the conversion of serotonin.
The following conditions are associated with low serotonin levels and may be helped by 5-HTP:
Depression
Obesity
Carbohydrate craving
Bulimia
Insomnia
Narcolepsy
Sleep apnea
Migraine headaches
Tension headaches
Chronic daily headaches
Premenstrual syndrome
Fibromyalgia
MOOD SUPPORT FOR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
How does it work?
5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin.
Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.
Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.
