5-HTP (5 hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor of serotonin. This amino acid is rich in tryptophan, an essential amino acid that together with vitamin B3 and magnesium, serves to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts on the brain and provides a sense of well-being. It's responsible for regulating mood, concentration and memory, promoting quality sleep, among others.
5-HTP can be obtained from the seeds of an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia, originally from West Africa.
5-HTP is quickly absorbed in the body and its effects are felt in a short period of time. The greater the availability of 5-HTP, the more serotonin will be produced.
Why take 5HTP PLUS?
The high levels of stress that we live under nowadays, together with a so often poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle, reduce the production of serotonin. Low levels of serotonin can trigger problems of anxiety, depression, mood changes, irritability, sleep disorders, among others.
5-HTP PLUS is taken by people who want to maintain their serotonin levels and increase their well-being.
5-HTP PLUS is a high quality supplement, with an advanced formula that contains Vitamin B3 and B6, which helps the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin.
