5-HTP { L-5 Hydroxytryptophan } is derived naturally from an African seed called “Griffonia Simplicifolia”.

The human body manufactures this Amino Acid from L-tryptophan, which can be found in small amounts in dietary proteins, and is then used by the body to make Serotonin - an important substance required for normal nervous system and brain functions.

 

5-HTP is widely becoming known as the “natural alternative” to being prescribed the SSRI Drugs- “Seroxat” and  “Prozac”.

 

Although technically 5-HTP comes under the legal category of being a “Natural Health Aid” and thus is becoming more widely available to freely purchase at specialist Health Food Stores, and natural Herbalists, it is still sometimes difficult to obtain supplies on a local basis, and when you do, often it is sold at exorbitant prices. 5-HTP is probably more a real “Drug” than most Herbal treatments.

 

Serotonin levels can become too low because of emotional or physical pressures, imbalanced diet, nutritional deficiencies, insufficient exercise (aerobic and muscular), alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. This results in sleep problems, depression, anxiety, eating disorders such as cravings, weight problems, restless leg syndrome, migraines, fibromyalgia, and low pain threshold.
Supplementing your diet with 5-HTP helps to increase and maintain the levels of serotonin in the body and gives relief in many ways - as an antidepressant to raise the spirits; a calming, natural relaxant to reduce anxiety and induce normal sleep; for weight control by reducing cravings or the desire to overeat.
Its anti-inflammatory properties are also thought to relieve arthritis.
