Description

What exactly is 5-HTP?

5-HTP (also know as 5-hydroxytryptophan) is found in the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia herb,which is native to Central and West Africa. 5-HTP is a natural amino acid and is a precursor to serotonin, which allows it to help improve mood. This is done by increasing the level of serotonin in the brain, and therefore improving  mood and well being. It can also be used to restore serotonin levels if they have been depleted. For example 5-htp is often supplemented the morning after MDMA use to replenish the drained levels of serotonin in the brain.

As well as these uses, 5-htp can also be taken to reduce food intake. When taken with a meal 5-htp can increase the feeling of satiety from eating, therefore reducing food consumption. However it does not negatively affect or reduce appetite, it simply increase satiety. Furthermore 5-htp has been shown to be useful in improving sleep quality. This is caused by the increased serotonin levels leading to an increase in melatonin, which is responsible for assisting sleep.

Benefits of 5-HTP:

• Improved sleep
• Reduced anxiety
• Enhanced mood

5-HTP Safety

The average dose of 5-HTP is 100mg to 200mg per day. If side effects occur then reduce the dose or discontinue usage.

Personal experience

I find 5-htp to be useful when taking around 100mg before bed to help me fall asleep, and to give an improved mood the next day. It also helps to improve the quality of my sleep and leaves me feeling well rested.
