http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-794-5-HTP.aspx?activeIngredientId=794&activeIngredientName=5-HTP Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It is considered essential because the human body cannot produce it on its own, and it must be consumed through the diet. Many high protein foods have Tryptophan in them, including red meat, poultry, dairy, nuts, beans, tofu, seeds, and oats Sometimes dietary Tryptophan intake is lacking, and some people naturally utilize the Tryptophan they do eat inefficiently. In these cases, supplementation may be useful When Tryptophan either from the diet or supplements is ingested, it is broken down in the liver into the compound 5-Hydroxytryptophan and other metabolites. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which governs easy nerve cell communication. In addition to this function, Serotonin generates a variety of emotional cues. It famously produces a calming sensation which can override stress triggers and soothe anxious thoughts and nervousness. Serotonin accompanies positive feeling and a relaxed, satisfied mood. L-tryptophan is also directly related to the production of Melatonin. Melatonin is the main hormone which is responsible for regulating circadian rhythm ( healthy sleep/wake cycles in the body). Serotonin in the brain is converted into Melatonin. During the day Serotonin production is highest, and production of Melatonin is low. When light levels fall at dusk, the body begins converting Serotonin to Melatonin at a faster rate; rising Melatonin levels helps prepare the body for deep, restorative sleep. Prior to taking any supplement, it is recommended that you consult your physician and also do your own research.
