Doctor's Best 5-HTP provides support for sleep, mood, anxiety and stress. 5-HTP aids serotonin production. Serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, mood and appetite. Synthesis of serotonin in the brain requires an adequate supply of either tryptophan or 5-HTP as precursors in the central nervous system.

Recent research shows a meaningful connection between serotonin and appetite. With 95% of serotonin found in the GI tract, 5-HTP shows potential in assisting with healthy weight stabilization
