What is 5-Hydroxytryptophan / 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) comes from the beans of Griffonia Seed. Recent research suggests that Griffonia Seed raises serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is important in regulating brain chemistry and is especially important in problems such as depression, insomnia, and eating disorders. Theoretically, supplementing with Griffonia Seed can raise serotonin levels and provide relief from depression and insomnia.
Griffonia Seed should also regulate appetite through the increase in serotonin, leading to weight reduction in obese persons, while helping normalize the weight of people suffering from anorexia nervosa. Griffonia Seed has also been used in treating fibromyalgia and chronic headaches in order to reduce pain.
Function & application of 5-HTP:
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.
- 5-HTP can ease the tension, anxiety and improve sleep;
- 5-HTP has the function of improving microcirculation;
- 5-HTP is shown benefit to the reduce depression,anxiety;
