5-HTP: Enhance Mood, Sleep, and Serotonin Levels

5-HTP by Thorne supports balanced serotonin levels, promoting restful sleep, a good mood, and decreased sugar cravings. Supplementation with 5-Hydroxytryptophan is more effective than L-tryptophan because it is directly converted to serotonin without being used for other functions like protein production or niacin synthesis.

Clinical Applications

• Supports Serotonin Production: Helps maintain balanced serotonin levels, crucial for regulating sleep, mood, and appetite.
• Bypasses Conversion Barriers: Directly converts to serotonin, bypassing the rate-limiting step of L-tryptophan conversion, which can be inhibited by stress, age, and nutritional deficiencies.
• Easily Absorbed: Can be taken with meals without reducing effectiveness due to its efficient absorption and lack of competition with other amino acids.

Suggested Use

Take 1 capsule per day, or as recommended by your healthcare professional.
