Serotonin (5-HT) is a key brain neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation (anti-anxiety and antidepressant), impulse control (inhibits aggression and obsessive compulsive disorders [OCD], pain control and sleep).

5-HTP gets converted into Serotonin in the body. It can be effective for those suffering an anxious, agitated, aggressive, irritable depression. It may also be helpful in some cases of compulsive carbohydrate overeating, alcohol addiction and compulsive gambling (specific forms of OCD), as well as for insomnia.

Clinical Indications
  • Sleeplessness
  • Anxiety
  • Mild Depression
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
 Contraindications
  • MAO inhibitor drugs

Actives
  • 5-Hydroxy-Tryptophan (increases brain dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) activity more effectively than tryptophan; passes through the blood brain barrier into the brain more easily than tryptophan)

Drug Interactions
  • Increases the activity of MAO inhibitor drugs, tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. 5-HTP should be used by anyone taking any of these drugs ONLY with their prescribing physician's consent and supervision.
