What is 5-HTP ?
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is an intermediate step in converting tryptophan into an important brain serotonin.5-HTP comes from the beans of Griffonia Seed, a vine native to Africa. In African folk medicine, Griffonia Seed is reputed to be an aphrodisiac, as well as an antiblotic and a remedy for diarrhea, vomiting, and tomachache.
5-HTP is a good answer to increasing brain serotonin levels!
5-HTP is mainly used to increase brain serotonin levels. Low serotonin levels seem to be a common consequence of modern life, as a stressful lifestyle reduces the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP. Lower brain serotonin levels make people feel anxious, more emotional, hungry, addicted to carbohydrates, and have lower sleep quality. It is obvious that many people are now affected. Fortunately, clinical studies have shown that 5-HTP may have good effects in addressing issues related to low serotonin levels. In fact, based on these research results, 5-HTP is a better natural method.
