5-HTP Synergy™
5-HTP Synergy™ is a synergistic formula of 5-hydroxytryptophan (50 mg) and vitamin B6 (10 mg) per serving for supporting overall neurotransmitter metabolism by providing precursors of serotonin. 5-HTP readily enters the blood–brain barrier; however, conversion into serotonin requires the cofactor vitamin B6, which is included in this formula. 5-HTP Synergy™ may be used during the day to support a healthy mood and normal appetite, or it may be used at bedtime to support sleep.*
5-HTP Synergy™ may be helpful for*:
- Normal appetite
- Carbohydrate cravings
- Weight management
- Mental health and positive outlook
- Healthy sleep patterns
- Normal pain responses
- Mood balance
- Optimal digestion
5-HTP Synergy™ combines 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the activated form of vitamin B6) to help support healthy serotonin levels and general neurotransmitter function. This synergistic formula is designed to help the body maintain healthy sleep patterns, balanced moods, and a normalized appetite. 5-HTP readily enters the blood brain barrier and combines with vitamin B6 during its conversion to serotonin. Therefore, 5-HTP Synergy™ is the perfect blend for optimizing serotonin production and neurotransmitter function.*
Why is Serotonin Important?
Serotonin is one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in the brain and is often referred to as the “feel good hormone” because of its role in sleep, mood, mental outlook, appetite, body temperature, sexual behavior, and the body’s natural pain response. Today’s hectic, stressful lifestyles can contribute to a reduction in serotonin levels, which may affect these factors.
Serotonin, itself, does not cross the blood brain barrier; it is synthesized in the brain from its individual components. Therefore, supplementing directly with serotonin would be ineffective for raising levels in the brain, but providing its precursors, such as 5-HTP and vitamin B6, can help maintain healthy serotonin levels.
Additional Highlights*
- 5-HTP may support healthy weight management, as it helps to balance appetite and minimize cravings for carbohydrates.
- 5-HTP may be beneficial for aiding individuals in maintaining a low-glycemic or low-carbohydrate diet by supporting balanced blood sugar levels.
- 5-HTP is highly absorbable and unaffected by the presence of other amino acids, meaning it can be taken conveniently with food, without impacting its effectiveness.
- 5-HTP is also used by the body to produce other neurotransmitters and brain chemicals such as melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and beta-endorphin, comprehensively supporting neurotransmitter function, mental health, and a positive mental outlook.
