5-HTP 50mg by Pure Encapsulations
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. It is a compound derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. Once in the body, a second enzyme removes a carboxyl group (COOH) from the 5-HTP, converting it to serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating endocrine and brain activity, including emotion, appetite, and sleep-wake cycles. 5-HTP provides a natural way to supplement serotonin levels in the body, which can be beneficial to those suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions. It is also unique in the marketplace because it is derived from a natural source, making it a popular choice for those looking for a safe and natural way to supplement their serotonin levels.Recommendation:
