5-HTP Complex

5-HTP Complex (L-5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino acid and a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, appetite, and sleep.

It is often taken as a supplement to try to increase serotonin levels and potentially improve mood, promote sleep, and reduce anxiety and depression.

There is some evidence to suggest that 5-HTP complex may be effective for these purposes, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects. It is important to note that 5-HTP complex is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements, including 5-HTP, have not been fully established.

It is also important to speak with a healthcare provider before taking 5-HTP or any other dietary supplement, as it can interact with certain medications and may not be suitable for everyone.
