5-HTP
Description 5-HTP is a natural building block of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps control satiety, mood, sleep patterns, and nervous system function.* However, 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin and is more easily converted to natural serotonin in your brain or digestive tract. For this reason, most practitioners recommend only about one-fifth the dose of 5-HTP that they do for L-Tryptophan.  Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Yeast Free Preservative Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free Shellfish Free Non-GMO  Suggested Use (Adults): Take one (1) capsule one to three times per day with a beverage or meal, or as directed by your doctor.

5-HTP Products
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid. It is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. 5-HTP, also known as oxitriptan, helps 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, a protein building block. It can also be created using the seeds of an African plant 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 can 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 dysphoric disorder, seizure disorders, and even Parkinson's disease.
It is essential 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.
