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.

5-HTP and Obesity

Significant weight loss was observed in 5-HTP-treated patients. A reduction in carbohydrate intake and a consistent presence of early satiety were also found. Together with the good tolerance observed, these findings suggest that 5-HTP may be safely used to treat obesity.
