Introduction
5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP is precursor of the important inhibitory neurotransmitter amine 5-HT, which is extracted from the dry seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia from Ghana and is of more safety compared to the synthesized product.
Applications/Function
1.Clinical trials show that 5-HTP is a safe, natural way to boost the brain
serotonin levels. Use of 5-HTP has been shown to produce results equal to or
better than those of standard synthetic used in the problems arising from
serotonin deficiency syndrome.
2. 5- HTP provides the quickest, most effective, and most consistent overall
results in treating insomnia. It is an effective alternative for dealing with
sleep problems in a safe and natural way compared to sleep medicines. 5-HTP
improves the quality of sleep. More importantly, clinical studies show that 5-
HTP is also useful in the treatment of sleep disorders other than insomnia.
3. 5-HTP increases REM sleep significantly (typically by about 25 percent) while simultaneously increasing deep sleep stages 3 and 4 without increasing total
sleep time. 5- HTP accomplishes this by shortening the amount of time you spend
in sleep stages 1 and 2, which in certain ways are the least important stages of
the cycle. The higher the dose, the more time spent in REM.
4. By shifting the balance of the sleep cycle, 5-HTP makes sleep more restful and rejuvenating. Instead of waking feeling tired, worn out, and "hungover,"
