L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural amino acid extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia found principally in the West African countries, such as Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. 5-HTP is used in alleviating the symptoms of some common syndromes such as anxiety and depression. 5-HTP is also known as a natural relaxant, which helps alleviate insomnia by inducing normal sleep, and treating migraine and headaches. In addition, 5-HTP can be used to control of cravings such as eating disorders. Recently, it is reported that 5-HTP has effects to control the symptom of Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.

[Function]

1). 5-HTP is not a synthetic drug, but is extracted from a natural source, the seed of the Griffonia plant, and is therefore not vulnerable to the processing contamination that caused the tryptophan scare in 1989;

2). 5-HTP passes into the brain immediately without the difficult wait that tryptophan has, giving a more rapid absorption;

3). 5-HTP has been found to exert significant protection against free-radical formation and oxidative damage;

4). 5-HTP is estimated to be 25 times more effective for improving brain function than tryptophan;

5). 5-HTP improves sleep quality without causing daytime drowsiness;

6). 5-HTP has been shown to relieve the pain and suffering for many who suffer with migraine headaches;

7). 5-HTP regulates several vital processes in the body, including sleep, emotional stability, pain sensitivity and addictive cravings.
