The Common benefits of 5-HTP.

The benefits of 5-HTP are virtually the same as those of tryptophan, being:
 The support of feelings of well-being, calm, serenity, relaxation,and concentration.
 Natural anti-depressant effects.
 Augments light therapy for depression.
 A natural sleep aid.
 An anti-anxiety agent.
 Helpful in agitated or mild manic states.
 May inhibit aggressive behavior.
 Reduces carbohydrate cravings, thus aiding blood sugar control and weight loss.
 Reduces symptoms of PMS.
 With fibromyalgia, reduces the number of tender points, anxiety, pain intensity and improves quality of sleep.
 Aids in general chronic pain syndromes.
 Equivalency to tryptophan: 500 mg tryptophan equals 100 mg 5-HTP.

 Instead of Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), which have side effects like anxiety and reducing libido, Our entrepreneurs offer a serotonin precursor that may increase libido, by reducing anxiety. This well-established nutraceutical, is 5-HTP, from the African Griffonia seed. It has been part of the product line of several reputable US nutraceutical firms for many years. We forsee proprietary blends for specific indications, from Seasonal Defective Disorder to constipation.
