Hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is natural amino acid that activates the production of serotonin, one of the main neurotransmitters. It is responsible for feeling good and cheerful. Happiness hormone? Yes, this is it!
What are the positive effects of 5-HTP?
- It helps cope with chronic fatigue syndrome, increased irritability and aggressiveness, as well as prevent depressive conditions in autumn and winter.
- It can improve sleep quality.
- It can do away with appetite disorders.
- It helps the body absorb glucose better (as confirmed by clinical studies), which provides us with energy.
The need for 5-HTP and its course of administration should be discussed with a doctor (this is especially important if you take antidepressants). The daily dosage of 5-HTP is 200-400 mg.
Sometimes, hydroxytryptophan can be taken immediately before an exciting event.
Serotonin synthesis requires sunlight, so when taking 5-HTP, remember to spend more time in the sun!
