Studio : Food Science of Vermont Publisher : Food Science of Vermont Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description 5-HTP is an amino acid extracted from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifola. In the body it is an intermediate in the conversion of Tryptophan to Serotonin, which makes it a safe and natural way to balance Serotonin levels. Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter that is manufactured in the brain to help support proper mood, sleep, and appetite functions. Optimal Serotonin levels promote feelings of calm and emotional balance. In addition, Serotonin plays important roles in the body’s ability to respond to pain, and in regulating the appetite by controlling the sensations of "fullness" and "carbohydrate craving". 0
