5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. Proteins in the food we eat provide us
with amino acids. One of those amino acids is tryptophan. Tryptophan is broken down by
vitamins, enzymes and other co-factors, into 5-HTP and then 5-HTP is turned into
serotonin.
A healthy liver is essential to proper conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and then serotonin.
Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that tells your brain that you are satisfied and do not need
to eat anymore. Serotonin deficiency contributes to weight gain, moods, sleeplessness
and other symptoms. Low serotonin levels also lead to carbohydrate cravings (sugar
cravings) and overeating. 5-HTP reduces appetite, while it also enhances your mood, and
increases your energy levels.
5-HTP has also been extensively researched for the treatment of mood, insomnia and
other sleep disorders. 5-HTP allows for natural sleep without the drugged feeling in the
morning which can occur in those taking prescription sedatives.
5-HTP provides natural relief for moods and related problems like stress without the
side effects of pharmaceutical alternatives.
Weight loss is another benefit achieved from taking 5-HTP. One small, but well-controlled
trial using 900mg a day of 5-HTP in 20 obese individuals found that during the first 6 weeks
of the study where the participants were allowed to eat their usual diet and the following 7
to 12 weeks where they were placed on a diet, researchers found a significant weight loss in
the 5-HTP group but not in those taking a placebo or fake pill.
HappySense containing 5-HTP is enteric coated. Other 5-HTP products can cause nausea
when optimal doses are taken. When 5-HTP is enteric-coated no nausea occurs.
Make sure that you take a multivitamin with minerals (like FemmEssentials for women or
Forward Plus for men) to ensure you get adequate levels of magnesium, vitamin B6 and
niacin (vitamin B3) because these nutrients work to aid in the conversion to 5-HTP.
If you are taking MAO inhibitors, SSRIs (Prozac, Luvox, Paxil, Effexor, Zoloft) and/or the
tricyclic antidepressants (Elavil, Tofranil, Pamelor) or St. John’s wort do not take 5-HTP
without discussing it with your health care provider.
