5-HTP 100mg by Pure Encapsulations

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate compound in the biosynthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. This process is enabled by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, which adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan to form 5-HTP. In the body, the 5-HTP is then converted to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is a vital neurotransmitter that plays a role in the regulation of endocrine and brain functions, including mood, appetite, and sleep-wake cycles. The 5-HTP used in these amino acid capsules is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. This source is unique in the marketplace, as it is the only plant-based form of 5-HTP available. Its benefits to the human body include improved mood, reduced appetite, and improved sleep-wake cycles. It is important to note that, while the use of 5-HTP has been studied, it is not approved by the FDA and should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
