5-HTP
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.
