What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a extracted from the seeds of the
African Plant, Griffionia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is a metabolite of the
amino acid tryptophan. It is a direct precursor of the important inhibitory
neurotransmitter serotonin, which is secreted in response to mood or emotion
swings. 5-HTP has been favorably compared to tricyclic antidepressants
and Prozac for its ability to alleviate depression.
What is Serotonin?
Serotonin is a major player in the regulation of mood and behaviour. It
also regulates appetite, the dilation of blood vessels and many other body
processes
Serotonin soothes and calms and brings about feelings of contentment.
Serotonin regulates mood, behaviour, appetite, dilation of blood vessels and
many other body processes. Serotonin is released in response to fullness
and regulates appetite. Deficiency of serotonin can lead to overeating and
obesity. This also accounts for the fact that when we are under stress our
appetite tends to change.
Some people become deficient in serotonin and gain weight because they
overeat. Others lose their appetite partly because their brain is reacting
to high levels of serotonin released during the stressful time. Serotonin
also decreases the diameter of blood vessels. This is helpful in headaches
and migraines that are caused by increased blood flow in the brain.
To enhance the body’s production of serotonin without taking serotonin
itself there are several options. Protein intake is important because it
contains the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin. A supplement
called 5-HTP is an activated form of tryptophan that can also be
supplemented to help with the production of serotonin. Vitamin B6,
pyridoxine, acts in the cascade to produce serotonin, from tryptophan. The
absorption of B6 is improved if all of the B complex vitamins are taken
along with it.
