5-HTP is a nutritional
supplement derived from the seeds of the Griffonia plant and is considered a
natural mood enhancer. 5-HTP is a safe and effective means of increasing brain
serotonin levels. Serotonin, an important brain neurotransmitter, is key in the
regulation of appetite, mood, and melatonin production. The presence of
serotonin in the brain is associated with a balanced emotional state. Serotonin
also acts as a satiety signal in the brain, thereby naturally regulating food
intake. Additionally, as a precursor of melatonin, serotonin is involved in
regulating sleep patterns. Low levels of serotonin have been linked with
depression, insomnia, anxiety, migraines, PMS, obsessive/compulsive behavior,
stress, over-eating/obesity and ADD in children.
