Trophic 5-HTP. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid and is related to both L-tryptophan and serotonin.
In the body L-tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP, which can then be converted to serotonin. 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.
Trophic’s 5-HTP is derived from the seeds of a West African legume called Griffonia simplicifolia.

Benefits:
- Patients with moderate to severe depression who were treated with 5-HTP showed a marked improvement of symptoms. There is even evidence that 5-HTP may be comparable to conventional antidepressants, including fluvoxamine (Luvox) and imipramine (Tofranil), but without any of the serious side effects that are generally associated with prescription medicines.
- 5-HTP is thought to enhance sleep though its effect on melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, by increasing production of it.
- 5-HTP orally seems to help reduce appetite, caloric intake, and weight in obese patients
- Many sufferers of tension-type and migraine headaches
- Use 5-HTP to help lesson symptoms and duration and to help prevent recurrences.
