AOR 5-HTP 50mg 90 Capsules

- 5-HTP 50mg Supports balanced mood 5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which comes from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia
- 5-HTP Extra Strength provides the amino acid building blocks in the production of serotonin – a key neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation- which is then used to produce the neurohormone melatonin
- Low serotonin levels may be associated with genetic polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter, and decreased serotonin receptor activity
- Low levels of L-tryptophan, or the co-factor vitamin B6, required for serotonin production can also lead to reduced serotonin activity
- Other causes of decreased conversion of L-tryptophan to serotonin may include: Stress Insulin resistance Insufficient magnesium Fibromyalgia is a complex conditions with patients suffering an array of symptoms including:  pain, Restful-Restful-Sleep disruption, fatigue and depressive symptoms
