    5-Hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is the direct precursor to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that participates in the regulation of emotional moods, sleep/wake cycles, nerve thresholds, and appetite. In addition to increasing serotonin levels, 5-HTP supports the levels of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that may be low in some clinical situations. Serotonin is an important initiator of sleep, and 5-HTP has been studied for many positive benefits with sleeplessness. Research also suggests serotonin levels may promote early satiety for appetite regulation.*   Serving Size:1 Capsule   Servings Per Container:90    Amount Per Serving 5-Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg     Other ingredients: vegetarian capsule, rice powder       Suggested use for adults: One capsule daily taken before a meal or at bedtime, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

    Promotes brain serotonin levels to support emotional well-being, healthy eating behavior, and healthy sleep.5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, satiety, and sleep/wake cycles. In clinical studies, the administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production. The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.• Promotes healthy serotonin levels • Supports emotional well-being, satiety, and sleep/wake cycles • Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredientsDietary ConsiderationsGluten FreeNon-GMOServing Size: 1 CapsuleServings Per Container: 60Amount Per Serving 5-hydroxytryptophan 50 mg   Other Ingredients hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), vegetable capsule (cellulose, water)   Suggested Use As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 1-4 times daily, before meals, or as directed by a health professional.   Warning Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women.

5-HTP Products

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. 5-HTP is also known as oxitriptan and helps to calm anxiety, improves mood, controls appetite, and is used as a sleep aid.

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is produced as a by-product of L-tryptophan, which is a protein building block. It can also be created by using the seeds of a plant from Africa known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP supplements work within the brain and through the central nervous system by causing an increase in serotonin production. Serotonin is a natural chemical that has the ability to affect your experience of pain, sleep patterns, sexual behavior, temperature, appetite, and moods.

Because 5-HTP causes an increase in serotonin synthesis, 5-HTP supplements are very useful in dealing with various conditions such as obesity, insomnia and other sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and other mood related disorders, migraine headaches, tension headaches, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia, premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphonic disorder, seizure disorders and even Parkinson's disease.

It is important to consult your physician before using these supplements. By following the advice of your health care professional and using high quality 5-HTP supplements from Vita Living, you can be sure of having a positive experience with 5-HTP.
