5-HTP

• Promotes a positive mood
• A precursor to serotonin
• Promotes mood balance and healthy sleep patterns
• Relieves migraine and fibromyalgia symptoms
• Flexible dosage, adaptable according to specific needs

5-HTP is primarily used to support mood, as it can increase serotonin levels. Comparison with various tricyclic antidepressants has shown that this molecule is as effective and acts more quickly than the latter, with fewer side effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, 5-HTP also improves sleep quality. Furthermore, research attributes 5-HTP to a role in reducing fibromyalgia symptoms and migraine frequency. Studies conducted in Spain and Italy have found 5-HTP to be comparable to methysergide, a drug that relieves migraine symptoms (over 70% in both groups) with fewer side effects. Fibromyalgia patients have been found to have low serotonin levels, and their symptoms have been shown to improve with the use of tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs. Numerous clinical trials of 5-HTP have also confirmed significant improvements in symptoms, including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness, and fatigue.
