5 HTP
5 HTP has been shown to help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and allow
you to sleep better. Some people find that it can help curb appetite and lead to
weight loss, too.
It’s an amino acid produced naturally by your body’s metabolism, but it’s not
found in foods to any appreciable extent.
5 HTP Can Affect Appetite
Some people are predisposed to obesity. The reason is they may have a
decreased ability for tryptophan conversion, and as a result, have a decreased
serotonin level.
By taking this supplement this genetic defect is bypassed and more serotonin
can be made by the body, which can reduce appetite in a similar manner as food
intake, but without the calories.
In one study, subjects taking this supplement lost significant weight
compared to control subjects. A reduction in carbohydrate intake and an earlier
feeling of being full were seen in this group.
5 HTP Enhances Mood and Is An Effective Treatment For Headaches
This supplement can help normalize serotonin levels which affect your mood.
It is also an effective antidepressant agent, and it often produces excellent
results in patients who are unresponsive to standard antidepressant drugs.
Because chronic headache sufferers have low levels of serotonin, this
supplement can help in the prevention of migraine headache without the side
effects some drugs cause.
Serotonin is metabolized to the hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep
cycle. Many studies have shown that depletion of serotonin can also result in
insomnia, which can be reversed by taking 5 HTP since it acts as the direct
metabolic precursor of serotonin and is important for the production of
melatonin.
5 HTP is the natural, safe alternative for treating conditions caused by low
levels of serotonin.
