Description
5-Hyroxytryphtophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical, serotonin. Low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era result in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches/migraines, and have vague muscle aches and pains. All of these maladies are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels. The primary therapeutic applications for 5-HTP are as follows:
- Depression Obesity
- Carbohydrate cravings
- Bulimia
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Sleep apnea
- Migraine Headaches
- Tension Headaches
- Chronic daily headaches
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
5-HTP should be taken as recommended by a Health Care Professional.
