5-Htp 5-Hydroxy Tryptophan or 5-HTP is a forerunner to the
neurotransmitter serotonin, which transfers nerve impulses from
one cell to another and regulates several vital processes in the
body, including sleep, emotional stability, pain sensitivity and
addictive cravings. Unlike serotonin alone, 5-HTP can cross the
blood-brain barrier.
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.
Health Benefits Promising research indicates that 5-HTP may have
a beneficial effect on a broad scope of complaints. 5-HTP has
also been found to be useful for a number of other disorders.
5-HTP may help to:
* Elevate mood in cases of depression, anxiety, and panic
attacks. 5-HTP appears to increase the brain's serotonin levels,
positively influencing such disorders as depression that have
been linked to low levels of this brain neurotransmitter. A
number of small European studies offer examples of people with
depression who found little relief from traditional
antidepressant drugs yet obtained good results with 5-HTP. *
Treat insomnia. Several elements of a good night's sleep appear
to be influenced by 5-HTP. In addition to reducing the amount of
time it takes to nod off, this compound actually may enhance the
quality of sleep itself, increasing both the duration of dream
states (REM sleep) and of deep slumber. In studies, most people
who tried 5-HTP also reported feeling more rested upon
awakening. * Promote weight loss. Some studies indicate that
5-HTP may curb the appetite when taken before meals. In a recent
study of dieting women, those given 5-HTP reported feeling
fuller than those who were given a placebo. In the end,
participants in the 5-HTP group consumed fewer calories overall,
and lost more weight than those in the placebo group. Another
study reported increased weight loss among obese patients who
took 5-HTP versus those who were given a placebo; all, however,
had been restricted to a daily diet of 1,200 calories. In
addition, because 5-HTP reportedly reduces cravings for sweets
and starches, it may also be of use in helping diabetics adhere
to a healthy diet. * Ease migraine pain. Migraine headaches have
been linked to low serotonin levels. Studies are ongoing to
determine if 5-HTP, which may boost the brain's serotonin
levels, can help to reduce the intensity, frequency, and
duration of this extremely painful type of headache. * Increase
tolerance to the pain of fibromyalgia. People who suffer from
fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that commonly causes muscle
pain and disabling fatigue, may have low serotonin levels. By
increasing the level of these neurochemicals, 5-HTP may improve
pain tolerance. In a recent Italian study, the 200 fibromylagia
sufferers who added 5-HTP to a regimen of conventional
antidepressants experienced less pain than those who took the
drugs or 5-HTP alone.
