How can 5-HTP Help?
• Supplementing with 5-HTP can support serotonin levels because it
can serve as a direct building block for serotonin to reduce the
negative consequences associated with low serotonin levels.
Sleep Quality
• Serotonin balances other hormones involved in the production of sleep and sleep quality, including melatonin. Studies with 5-HTP show it supports Rapid Eye Movement time, deep sleep, and dreaming. Its ability to support quality sleep supports greater mental, physical and emotional rejuvenation.
Comfort
• One of the underlying causes of headache discomfort is low serotonin levels. Supplementing with 5-HTP supports serotonin levels and may reduce headache frequency and intensity.
Mood Balance
• Low Serotonin levels in the brain have been linked to the symptoms associated with low mood. Studies have shown 5-HTP to be effective in balancing brain neurotransmitters which supports improved mood.
Weight Management and Healthy Appetite
• Serotonin plays an important role in regulating appetite and controlling the feeling of fullness. Studies report that those on 5-HTP felt fuller, had reduced cravings for sweets and starches, and consumed fewer calories overall, which shows that it can
support weight management and help individuals adhere to a healthy diet.
