Professional Supplement Center 5-HTP 100 Mg

Professional Supplement Center’s 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a plant-based amino acid derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia. It plays an important role in the production of serotonin, which helps regulate and balance mood. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin which is created from the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a role in making proteins and chemicals used in brain signals.

Low levels of serotonin have been associated with mood disorders, anxiety, and sleep issues. Studies have shown that depriving the brain of tryptophan, thereby decreasing serotonin synthesis, can induce mood disorders within hours.

Similarly, people with mood disorders may have significantly lower tryptophan levels than their controls. Interestingly, low levels of tryptophan have been seen in people with depression as well. 5-HTP has been used for many years to give support to those with mood balance disorders by providing the building blocks for serotonin. Additionally, 5-HTP has been used to support other concerns such as headaches and sleeping difficulties.
