5-HTP GRIFFONIA SIMPLICIFOLIA BEAN EXTRACT

In
the body, (5-hydroxytryptophan), is synthesized from tryptophan and is
a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in
the brain, blood platelets, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract.
Since serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system it has
many implications in cognition, mental health and sleep patterns*.
Supplementation of 5-HTP has shown a distinct ability to increase
serotonin levels*. Since the FDA restricts the availability of
tryptophan, many research scientists have discovered that 5-HTP
compares favorably in modulating serotonin levels. 5-HTP has been
studied and shown to be of benefit in the following conditions: primary
fibromyalgia syndrome, Friedreich’s ataxia, depression, anxiety, binge
eating associated with obesity, and insomnia.

How Does HTP Work?
The body makes 5-HTP naturally from tryptophan and, then, converts
it into serotonin. This neurotransmitter has many powerful effects on
the brain. Not only does it improve mood, it also suppresses hunger and
helps to curb weight gain.

Physicians suggest taking a 5-HTP supplement instead of a serotonin
supplement because 5-HTP can access the brain from the bloodstream,
while serotonin cannot. In order to access the brain, chemicals and
compounds will have to access the blood brain barrier, which grants
access to the brain. Therefore, you would need to take a supplement that
can cross that barrier, like 5-HTP, in order to increase serotonin
levels in the brain.

As serotonin levels increase your hunger diminishes and you feel
satiated faster without feeling the need to restrict your food intake.
One study found that women ate less carbs without even trying.

Would It Work for Me?
5-HTP has been studied for over 30 years. Several clinical trials have
shown that it works to lower the number of calories eaten and aids in
weight loss. One study
compared overweight women who took 200 mg of 5-HTP before each meal to
those who took a placebo. The women who took the supplement ate 1,084
fewer calories per day and felt less hungry during the day. In another study, women who took 5-HTP lost 10.3 pounds over 12 weeks, compared to 2.2 pounds in the placebo group.

Experts and researchers agree that 5-HTP works best for those who constantly crave food around the clock – especially carbs.

Is 5-HTP Safe?
Because it’s a naturally occurring compound in the body, 5-HTP is mostly
safe for short-term use (up to 12 weeks). However, those with existing
gastrointestinal problems should be cautious and speak to a physician,
as there are reports of gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea,
vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Also, avoid taking this
supplement if you’re already taking antidepressants (such as an SSRI or
MAOI) or are seeing a mental health specialist for severe depression or
bipolar disorder. 5-HTP has been known in increase suicidal ideation.
