5-Hydroxy-Tryptophan
read James South's article
5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP) is a
metabolite of the amino acid L-Tryptophan. It is a natural product extracted
from Griffonia seeds. 5-HTP produces the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain
making it helpful in cases of depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and obsessive
compulsive behavior including compulsive gambling..
Normal doses are 50mg to 100mg (200mg-maximum) daily.
Avoid use with other serotonin enhancing agents or SSRI
drugs like ProzacŪ, Zoloft, etc., without your physician's advice.
"What a good-strong replacement
5-hydroxy-tryptophan has been
for the SSRI drugs I was taking. Both my doctor and I are pleased that a natural
safer substance is working well."
