What is 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the
intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin.
Evidence that suggests that low serotonin
levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary
practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered
levels of serotonin within the brain.
What is the best way to take 5-HTP?
For most people, the
dosage should be started at 50 mg three times per day. If the response
is inadequate after two weeks, increase the dosage to 100 mg three
times per day. This recommendation will greatly reduce the mild
symptoms of nausea often experienced during the first few weeks of
5-HTP therapy. Because 5-HTP does not rely on the same transport
vehicle as L-tryptophan, it can also be taken with food.
