Do you often find that your everyday life is stressful, you are often tense, you find it hard to switch off and you are constantly trying to do your best in every area of your life? Stress today is at unprecedented levels. We have little time, a lot to do, and that in itself is a source of stress. Prolonged stress and anxiety can invisibly trigger our immune defences, which can lead to serious health problems.
One of the most effective defences against stress can be serotonin replacement. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is the intermediate product of the conversion of an essential amino acid called tryptophan into serotonin. Serotonin cannot act on its own if it is introduced into the body from outside, as it cannot enter the brain without a carrier. However, supplementation with 5-HTP is an appropriate solution to this problem. Thus, with the help of 5-HTP, they enter the brain together and serotonin detaches from tryptophan and can exert its positive effects.
Serotonin is involved in endocrine regulation, influencing brain activity responsible for emotional, appetite and sleep-wake cycle activity. Clinical studies show that healthy serotonin levels are supported by supplying the body with 5-hydroxytryptophan.
5-HTP supplementation has many benefits:
- It can bring significant improvements in various psychiatric disorders,
- help alleviate depressive symptoms,
- it is good for stress management,
- it can also reduce feelings of anxiety,
- is also very effective in treating insomnia and migraines
In addition to
its positive effects on mood, it also shows excellent results in the treatment of chronic inflammation. Supplementing with 5-HTP can also help treat whole-body (muscle) pain. Some approaches suggest that low serotonin levels may play a role in the development of fibromyalgia, so 5-HTP supplementation may be beneficial in
reducing muscle pain.
5-HTP helps us to get the right amount and quality of rest. It also plays a role in the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep and relaxation - 5-HTP may ultimately reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.
It also has beneficial effects on the symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome. As estrogen levels in the body decrease during these periods, this can lead to mood swings. Cravings and binge eating may also be due to a lack of serotonin, as the body tries to increase serotonin levels with various foods to function normally.
It is important to always, always stick to the recommended amount. If you have any questions or want to increase the dose, check with your doctor. Usually the daily dose is set at 300-500 milligrams. Unless you have a serious health problem, this amount may be enough. 5-HTP capsules should be taken with meals.
It should only be taken alongside other medicines for neurological conditions if your doctor has approved it.
