5‑Hydroxytryptophan (5‑HTP) derived from the seed of Griffonia simplicifolia is a natural precursor needed for the synthesis of serotonin as well as for the neurohormone melatonin. Orally administered serotonin is not able to cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore cannot enter the CNS. 5‑HTP, however, is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it can then be utilized as a precursor to raise serotonin levels safely.
Mood imbalance is one of the most prevalent concerns affecting an individual’s quality of life. Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter involved in several crucial physiological processes.
5-HTP SAP may:
- Help promote a healthy mood balance
- May help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia
- Be used as a sleep aid
- Help alleviate the severity and duration of migraine headaches when taken as a prophylactic
