5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, which participates in both sleep regulation and mood balance. 5-HTP can also increase serotonin and melatonin output, even outside of the light-regulated system. Serotonin is known to have a soothing effect on brain chemistry, as well as aiding many other physiological processes such as digestion, appetite, and pain sensation. Metabolic Maintenance's 5-HTP 50 mg is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant, and includes activated Vitamin B-6 as active P-5-P, crucial for serotonin metabolism. Always consult a physician before combining with SSRI's.
