Our 5-HTP ( Hydroxytryptophan ) with Vitamin B6 formula is a dietary supplement that is recommended for:

• Mood balance -- studies have shown 5-HTP to be effective in balancing brain
  neurotransmitters which supports improved mood
  
  
• Sleep quality -- studies show 5-HTP supports Rapid Eye Movement time,
  deep sleep, and dreaming.
  
  
• Weight Control -- studies report that those taking 5-HTP felt fuller, had
  reduced cravings for sweets and starches, and consumed fewer calories overall.
  
  
• Headaches -- An underlying cause of headaches is low serotonin levels.
  5-HTP increases serotonin levels reducing headache frequency and intensity.

5-HTP is a precursor to Serotonin, when combined with the proper ratio of Vitamin B6. Serotonin is critical for brain function and helps regulate muscle movement, alertness, mood, behavior, appetite, activity level and sleep quality.

Optimal Serotonin levels promote feelings of calm and emotional balance. In addition, Serotonin plays an important role in the body's ability to respond to pain, and in regulating the appetite by controlling the sensations of "fullness" and "carbohydrate craving."
