Need A Refresher On Why People Take 5-HTP?
5-HTP is an advanced form of tryptophan, the naturally occurring amino acid that tells your brain to produce serotonin — which is used in the brain to promote overall feelings of well-being. Unlike other expensive options, Jigsaw Health’s 5-HTP supplement naturally helps your body maintain a stable mood and a healthy response to stress.
What is Serotonin?
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in the regulation of anger, aggression, mood, sleep, sexuality, and appetite. It is vital for promoting and maintaining overall feelings of well-being and emotional calmness.*
Background:
L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) can naturally augment serotonin levels when your body is challenged in producing serotonin on its own. Unlike tryptophan, which competes with other amino acids to get to the brain, L-5-HTP is absorbed directly into the brain. L-5-HTP is only one biochemical step away from converting to serotonin. Healthy levels of serotonin are associated with stable mood and a healthy response to stress.*
To make sure you get the highest quality serotonin available, the all-natural form of L-5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia tree found principally in the West African countries of Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo. Various parts of the Griffonia simplicifolia tree were traditionally used not only as chewing sticks, but as African healing remedies to treat wounds, nausea, kidney ailments, and more.
In recent years, research has shown that lowered levels of serotonin may be responsible for depression, insomnia, addiction, obsessive or compulsive disorders, PMS, obesity, and anxiety.
In some studies, 70% of depressed patients with lowered serotonin levels felt better after taking a 5-HTP supplement.
