WHAT IS L-5-HTP?
Short for 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan, 5-HTP is a natural stepping-stone between a nutrient in our food and a crucial compound in our brains. Specifically, it's a substance that links the amino acid tryptophan to the chemical messenger serotonin. Tryptophan, which our bodies can't make but we do get from many foods, quickly turns to 5-HTP in the brain. 5-HTP, in turn, rapidly becomes serotonin, a compound that plays a large role in controlling mood, appetite, and sleep cycles.
L-5-HTP HELPS WITH EMOTIONAL IMBALANCE
It has been shown that serotonin levels in individuals with downed feelings are considerably lower than those in normal subjects. Individuals who respond to 5-HTP show a rise in serotonin levels similar to those with normal moods. Several studies have demonstrated improvements in people who did not respond positively to standard mood boosting prescriptions. A proper 5-HTP dose may be sufficient in most cases for mood imbalances.
SLEEP BENEFITS OF L-5-HTP
Several clinical studies have shown 5-HTP to produce good results in promoting and maintaining sleep in normal subjects as well as in those experiencing sleeping problems. 5-HTP may help increase REM sleep, while simultaneously increasing deep sleep stages 3 and 4 without increasing total sleep time. So in plain terms, 5-HTP helps the user to experience a deeper, far more relaxing sleep.
WEIGHT LOSS EFFECTS OF L-5-HTP
Serotonin influences eating behaviors. When people are fed tryptophan-free diets, appetite is significantly increased, resulting in binge eating and carbohydrate cravings. Researchers discovered that a carbohydrate meal causes more tryptophan to be delivered to the brain, resulting in more serotonin being manufactured. This may be one reason why low serotonin levels lead to “carbohydrate cravings” and may ultimately play a key role in the development of obesity. 5-HTP may help to prevent the decline in serotonin levels associated with a reduced calorie intake. A severe drop in serotonin leads to the brain putting out a strong message to eat, which may help explain why most “diets” do not work. 5-HTP may help stimulate the satiety centers of the brain to discourage excess food consumption.
L-5-HTP – A SEROTONIN BOOSTER
The synthesis of serotonin in the body begins with L-tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids we get through diet. L-tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP, which is in turn converted to serotonin. While L-tryptophan is readily converted into substances other than serotonin, such as niacin, 5-HTP cannot be degraded or converted into other substances. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier easier than L-tryptophan itself. This makes 5-HTP a valuable option for efficiently boosting serotonin levels in the body.
