5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP provides the amino acid building blocks in the production of serotonin – a key neurotransmitter.

Ultimately, those who suffer from mood imbalances or are experiencing symptoms associated with fibromyalgia may benefit from taking 5-HTP in conjunction with wholistic treatment protocols. 

Helps to reduce the severity and duration of migraine headaches when taken as a preventative (prophylactic).  Studies in Spain and Italy found that 5-HTP was comparable to conventional treatments in alleviating the symptoms of migraines (over 70% in both groups) when taken preventatively.

To be used with a program of reduced intake of dietary calories and increased physical activity (if possible) to help in weight management by reducing carbohydrate cravings.
