Q: What is 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)
A: It is a natural amino acid that the body uses to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with mood regulation and sleep. It is produced from the seeds of an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia.
Q: What is Insomnia?
A: Insomnia and sleep disorders have many causes; they are characterized by a difficulty in falling and/or staying asleep. Sleeplessness may be caused by stress and anxiety, lifestyle changes, external influences, ill health and nutritional deficiencies.
Q: What are some of the benefits of taking 5-HPT
A: Improved mood: Since serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, increasing serotonin levels may help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Better Sleep: Serotonin is converted into melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Increasing serotonin levels may help improve sleep quality and duration. Reduced Appetite: Serotonin is also involved in regulating appetite, and increasing serotonin levels may help reduce cravings and promote feelings of fullness.
