Description:
5-HTP occurs naturally in the body. Typically, people produce enough for regular functioning, but some require supplementation. 5-HTP dietary supplements aid in increasing serotonin levels in the brain, significantly affecting mood and behavior.
Because serotonin regulates mood and behavior, 5-HTP may improve:
- Sleep
- Mood
- Anxiety
- Hunger
- Pain sensitivity
Since 5-HTP is naturally present in the body, supplementing with it is a clean, holistic way to increase serotonin levels.
