Solgar 5-HTP (90v caps) - 100mg 5htp
5-HTP is used by the human body to make serotonin, an important substance for normal nerve and brain function. Serotonin appears to play significant roles in sleep, emotional moods, pain control, inflammation, intestinal peristalsis, and other body functions.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid derived from the bean of a woody climbing shrub called Griffonia simplicifolia which grows in West Central Africa. 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that is involved in the regulation of pain, sleep, mood and other brain and nerve functions. 5-HTP is synthesized in the body from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan, which is found in high quality proteins sucd as meat, fish and dairy products. As well as its conversion to 5-HTP, L-tryptophan is also converted to niacin in the body, making 5-HTP a more reliable and consistent serotonin pre-cursor.
