5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a precursor in the biosynthesis of serotonin. It is synthesized from L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid that occurs naturally in dietary proteins such as turkey and milk, and requires vitamin B6 as a cofactor. 5-HTP is produced primarily by enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract as well as by the raphe nuclei of the brainstem where it is subsequently converted to serotonin. Serotonin produced in the gastrointestinal tract stimulates physiological functions including vasoconstriction, uterine contraction, bronchoconstriction, gastrointestinal motility, and platelet aggregation. 1 At the brain level, serotonin inhibits excitatory neurotransmission and modulates the wakefulness phase, attention, psychological attitude (anxiety and depression), sexual behavior, appetite, thermoregulation, motor skills, migraines, vomiting, nociception and aggressiveness.
Adults: Take 1 capsule three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal upset, start at 50-100 mg, 2 to 3 times daily and gradually increase to the effective dose over a 2-week period. Take with food. For fibromyalgia symptoms, use for at least 2 weeks to see beneficial effects. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 1 year.
