Description

Does the stress of everyday life have your eating out of control? Do you have difficulty sleeping or mood problems as a result? If your appetite and mood are a problem, you may want to try 5-HTP.

What is 5-HTP?

L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, commonly known as 5-HTP or oxitriptan, is an amino acid that contributes to serotonin and melatonin production. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has a wide variety of effects, notably mood improvement. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the body’s sleep cycle.

Supplementing with 5-HTP

5-HTP is an extract from the plant Griffonia simplicifolia. Since 5-HTP influences the production of serotonin and melatonin, it is often used to improve mood and sleep issues.* It is also taken as a means to increase food satiety and decrease appetite.* Because 5-HTP has an effect on serotonin in the body, care should be taken to not develop Serotonin Syndrome, a condition caused by an excess of serotonin in the body.

Suggested Use

Purely Powders suggests one XXXmg dose of our 5-HTP powder per day for healthy adults.

If you have a medical condition, take prescription medicines, are pregnant, or are a minor, it is important to consult a healthcare practitioner before taking 5-HTP.
