Gregory Chandler - 5-HTP

5-hydroxytryptophan is better known as 5-HTP.  5-HTP is thought to be a non-prescription means to lessen anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders. 

5-HTP, an amino acid, serves a very important role as the middle element between tryptophan and the brain chemical serotonin.  Taking 5-HTP has been shown to significantly improve depression and anxiety. 

Individuals trying to diet may find 5-HTP helpful.  The supplement is an effective means to help with irritability, anxiety, and insomnia that often comes with a calorie reduced diet.
