5-HTP (a.k.a. 5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that the body naturally produces. Most importantly the body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin. Unfortunately, low serotonin levels can mean weight gain, mood issues, and poor sleep, among other health concerns. Many people have turned to 5-HTP supplements to help balance their serotonin levels.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that your body naturally produces. Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems (

A few of the amazing benefits of 5-HTP are:
1-PROMOTES HEALTHY MOOD
5-HTP helps the body to produce more serotonin. Healthy levels of serotonin contribute to a positive mood and outlook and also promote restful sleep.
2-NEUROTRANSMITTER SUPPORT
With its ability to increase serotonin, 5-HTP supports a neurochemical process that can enable high-quality sleep and keep the body’s bio clock in sync.
3-PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP
One human-based study showed that a combination of 5-HTP and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) significantly reduced the time it took to fall asleep, increased sleep duration and improved sleep quality (
