Doctor’s Best 5-HTP (100 mg) is just what you need to promote a relaxed and calm mental and emotional state. Formulated using naturally-sourced 5-HTP extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicolia plant, this important precursor molecule to our own natural neurotransmitter serotonin supports a beneficial impact on mood, sleep, carbohydrate cravings and discomfort associated with fatigue.
5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) is a precursor for the brain neurotransmitter serotonin, known as the feel-good brain chemical. Serotonin in turn is a precursor for the sleep neurotransmitter and hormone melatonin. Low levels of these neurotransmitters can result in mood, sleep, appetite and hormonal imbalances that can leave you feeling quite blue. Supporting a healthy balance of these neurotransmitters by supplementing with 5-HTP as a nutritional precursor helps support restful sleep, positive mood and a better regulated appetite.
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in protein foods that the body uses as a precursor to produce serotonin. However, this process only occurs naturally following enzymatic conversion with tryptophan hydroxylase which converts dietary tryptophan to 5-HTP. However, tryptophan can also be shunted down other biochemical pathways in the body. 5-HTP, in contrast, is already is a form able to easily cross the blood-brain-barrier for the production of serotonin in the central nervous system. In addition, unlike tryptophan which is in competition with other amino acids for absorption, 5-HTP is able to be absorbed easily and directly, with or without the presence of other amino acids.
Doctor’s Best creates vitamins and supplements using science-based techniques that combine natural ingredients using thoroughly researched and tested methods. Doctor’s Best is committed to transparency and education, and uses only certified cGMP facilities to ensure the highest quality standards are met.
