Now Foods 5-HTP 100mg 60 caps

NOW 5-HTP 100 mg (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, obtained from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

5-Hydroxytryptophan, an amino acid entering the brain, increases the ability of transmitting neurons to create serotonin, one of the most important neurotransmitters. Serotonin is produced in neurons that form the median groove of the brain stem. It is then injected into numerous areas of the brain, including the spinal cord, cerebellum, hypothalamus, limbic system, and cerebral cortex.

NOW 5-HTP 100 mg restores the required concentration of serotonin in the synaptic clefts, supports the serotoninergic system of nerve impulse transmission, no less effectively than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, but has no side effects of the latter. In the central nervous system, serotonin is involved in the transmission of signals that affect mood, sleep and arousal, satiety, cardiovascular regulation, temperature control, arousal, and depression.

NOW 5-HTP 100 mg acts as a non-drug antidepressant. In the peripheral nervous system, serotonin acts on the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract, and the genitourinary system. 5-HTP is the source of melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland.
