Keeps Brain Working

Our care giver put my husband on 5HTP after a stroke in 2015 to help with cognitive issues, he's still doing well on it.

NN Response:

Hello Diane,
Thank you for sharing how your husband is doing with this 5 HTP supplement. 5 HTP crosses the blood brain barrier, providing excellent benefits, glad to hear it's helping him.

Stay healthy & well.

Excellent Product as a Sleep Aid

One 5-HTP pill taken 30 minutes before going to bed helped with my sleeping problems. In about one week I was able to fall asleep much quicker, and enjoy deep sleep throughout the night. Now I am waking up more rested, and my body seems to respond well to this natural product – thank you NOW!

Great Benefits That Work For Me

I found myself more relaxed and less likely to get agitated quickly thanks to 5-HTP. My anxiety was never bothersome, now it seems to be completely gone. I usually take it before sleep and find i get a great nights rest.

Highly recommend 5-HTP from NOW

This product does exactly what it says itll do. Ive been taking it for over a month now - 2 pills about 45 minutes before bed - and I feel really mellow and fall asleep almost immediately. I sleep really well all through the night and wake up feeling much less groggy than I used to. I was skeptical at first but Im glad I bought it. And my naturopath doesnt have a problem with me taking it. Highly recommend this product!

More Info

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.
