L-5-hydroxyTryptophan (L-5-HTP) is converted by the body to serotonin, which is a major neurotransmitter of the central nervous system.5HTP acts on the brain helping to elevate mood, promote sleep, aid weight loss, relieve headaches, anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The molecules are small enough to penetrate through the blood brain barrier and once it reaches the brain it is converted into serotonin. Although it affects many parts of the body, serotonin’s most important actions take place in the brain where it influences everything from mood to appetite to sleep.Directions:Use only as Directed.
