Reduction of heart disease by lowering rates of anxiety and depressionIndications and Uses5-HTP (the common name for the compound 5-hydroxytryptophan) is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. A mood-enhancing chemical, 5-HTP has attracted a good deal of attention lately because of its ability to increase pain tolerance, induce sleep, and affect how hunger is perceived. Unlike many other supplements (and drugs) that have molecules too large to pass from the bloodstream into the brain, molecules of 5-HTP are small enough to do so. Once in the brain, they're converted into an important nervous system chemical, or neurotransmitter, called serotonin. In 1994, 5-HTP was introduced in the U.S.; 5-HTP is thought to pose significantly less risk of contamination than L-tryptophan. Europeans have been taking 5-HTP for decades to treat insomnia and depression.StorageStore in cool & dry area, keep away from the direct light and heat.Package1kg/bag,5kg/bag,12.5kg/drum, 25 Kg/ fiberboard drum 5-Hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP is a naturally-occurring amino acid, a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin and an intermediate in tryptophan metabolism.
