Product Details
1. Product Introduction
5-HTP Powder ( 5-Hydroxytryptophan, OXITRIPTAN, or Griffonia Seed Extract, with the Latin name of Griffonia Simplicifolia L ) is a naturally occurring amino acid and a chemical precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, cognition, appetite, and sleep. The body uses tryptophan to synthesize 5-HTP, which then converts to serotonin. However, chronic stress, hormones, and imbalanced gut microbes can reduce serotonin production.
5-HTP is a compound with the molecular formula C11H12N2O3. It is an important direct precursor of inhibiting the neurotransmitter serotonin, and 5 HTP extra Irwin naturals is also a regulator of melatonin biosynthesis. Ghanaian seeds are rich in 5-hydroxytryptophan, which is the main natural source for the manufacture of 5-HTP.
5-HTP is produced from the amino acid tryptophan through the action of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase is one of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Production of 5-HTP is the rate-limiting step in the 5-HT synthesis. 5-HTP is normally rapidly converted to 5-HT by amino acid decarboxylase.
Low serotonin levels can cause a multitude of health problems, including weight gain, problems sleeping, emotional unease, and more. Taking 5-HTP supplements can help bridge the gap when external factors reduce serotonin production. The seeds of the Griffonia Simplicifolia shrub are the primary dietary source of 5-HTP and can contain up to 20% 5-HTP by weight.

3. Feature and Application
Feature
You may wish to supplement your diet with 5-Hydroxytryptophan as the compound can only be acquired through the conversion of Tryptophan, an amino acid that is found in soy products, red meat, poultry, fish, oat bran, cheese, and dark chocolate.
※ 5-Hydroxytryptophan treatment was associated with a decrease in appetite and food intake
※ It has been reported that deficiencies in the amino acid tryptophan (precursor to 5-HTP) are correlated with depression, as evidenced by serum tryptophan in depressed persons.
※ A nutrient combination of GABA and 5-Hydroxytryptophan (amongst other ingredients such as Valerian and Cocoa polyphenols) has been noted to decrease the time required to fall asleep with concomitant improvements in sleep duration and quality as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
※ 5-Hydroxytryptophan powder has been investigated for its role in hot flashes as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) have been noted to reduce the occurrence of hot flashes and menopausal symptoms.
※ It was noted that after 40 days of nutritional therapy (in a hospital setting) that all withdrawal symptoms after taking 5htp powder.
※ It could Help Reduce Panic/Anxiety.
POTENTIAL 5-HTP SIDE EFFECTS
5-Hydroxytryptophan supplements may cause digestive side effects, including heartburn, nausea, upset stomach, or diarrhea. Individuals can reduce the likelihood of 5-Hydroxytryptophan side effects by splitting their dose and taking it twice per day instead of one larger dose. Individuals taking MAOIs, SSRIs, or other tryptophan supplements should not take 5-HTP supplements, as they also increase serotonin levels. Individuals should always consult with a physician before taking new supplements.
Application:
High-strength 5-HTP powder can be used as a tranquilizer to control pain and has a good therapeutic effect on depression. Its nutrition can be used as a precursor of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the human body, which plays a certain role in regulating sleep and the treatment of depression.
It can increase the concentration of serotonin in the brain, improve depression promote melatonin production, suppress appetite, and relieve stress.
Superior source powder is also very rich in nutrients, including various amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and so on. Can be used as a dietary supplement.
