5 Htp 100mg

5 Htp 100mg




In the body, (5-hydroxytryptophan), is synthesized from tryptophan and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in the brain, blood platelets, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Since serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system it has many implications in cognition, mental health and sleep patterns*. Supplementation of 5-HTP has shown a distinct ability to increase serotonin levels*. Since the FDA restricts the availability of tryptophan, many research scientists have discovered that 5-HTP compares favorably in modulating serotonin levels. This product is an extract from a natural plant seed and not from fermented tryptophan.

5-HTP – Raise Serotonin Levels in the Brain Naturally 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid made in the body from tryptophan and converted to serotonin, an important brain chemical. Raising brain levels of serotonin through 5-HTP supplements may positively impact sleep, mood, anxiety, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior and pain sensations. Why Serotonin Levels Are Important 5-HTP may be beneficial for supporting a variety of conditions associated with low serotonin levels. Depression may result from low serotonin levels. Because of this, many anti-depressant medications work to raise serotonin levels. In studies of people with mild to moderate depression, 5-HTP may be as effective as some medications at improving mood, anxiety, insomnia, and physical symptoms.

The pain, stiffness, and fatigue of fibromyalgia may be impacted by a number of factors but studies show low serotonin may play a role in the development of fibromyalgia. Individuals with fibromyalgia taking 5-HTP saw improvements in sleep and a reduction of pain, stiffness and depression.

Other research shows patients suffering with insomnia may benefit from 5-HTP supplementation. Taking it before bedtime may induce sleepiness and delay waking up. Studies of overweight men and women, both with and without diabetes, suggested 5-HTP supplements promoted the feeling of satiety (fullness). This led to a decrease in food intake and subsequent weight loss.

In addition to 5-HTP our formula includes Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. These vitamins are important for optimizing the effects of 5-HTP.

Label Information and Ingredients: Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) capsule daily with meals, or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light. See caution statement below.

5HTP 100mg Caplets




Just Vitamins 5-HTP is derived from Griffonia Seed, using a specially developed process that retains as much of the active 5-HTP as possible. The Griffonia Seed powder is then compressed into an easy-swallow, coated caplet, with each caplet providing 100mg of 5-HTP (in amino acid form).

Unlike cheaper Griffonia Seed powder, our UK-sourced material is 99% pure. This means that it only requires 101mg of Griffonia Seed to make our 100mg 5-HTP caplet. Some of the cheaper supplements on the market use inferior 70% 5-HTP material, which is much less pure than ours, so please be aware of what you are buying.

5-HTP 100 mg

5-HTP 100 mg




5-HTP (Jarrow) Each bottle, 60 capsules. Each capsule, 100 mg. Suggested dose is 1 capsule per day with meals or as directed by your qualified healthcare provider. To avoid appetite suppression, use 1 hour before bed time.

The primary uses for this supplement are to help offset depression, improve sleeping and to inhibit appetite. (Most people with HIV, though, NEED to eat.) 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP) is part of a pathway used by the body to produce serotonin. The amino acid tryptophan is converted to 5HTP and then to serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical used for a variety of functions in the brain (and part of a class of compounds that deliver messages between brain cells (neurons) called neurotransmitters). Increasing serotonin levels in the central nervous system may help to offset depression. This is also important for production of melatonin. Indeed, this may be a true alternative to Prozac and other such drugs for some people (all of which have their own significant limitations in terms of efficacy and their significant side effects). One study showed comparable activity with fewer side effects in treating depression when compared to fluvoxamine/Luvox. If using for sleep or depression, consider using only before bedtime. It has been used to treat obese subjects, as it results in decreased appetite and reduced carbohydrate intake with early satiety (feeling full faster). This may be a BAD IDEA for people with HIV who do NOT need to lose appetite. This is another good reason to take it 1 hour before bedtime.

DO NOT TAKE VITAMIN B6 AT THE SAME TIME AS THIS! (At least not within 2 hours of using HTP.) B6 is a coenzyme that works with the decarboxylase enzyme. This latter decarboxylase clips a COOH of 5-HTP, turning it into serotonin. Fine if this happens in the brain. Not fine if this happens in the liver. Peripheral blood increase in serotonin is important. Use this supplement only if you are cutting back on B6 intake (max 25 mg/day) and for as short a period of time as possible. Again, if you separate multi usage by a few hours at least and take this an hour before bedtime, this should reduce any interaction problem with vitamin B6.

DO NOT TAKE WITH MAO INHIBITORS OR OTHER ANTIDEPRESSANTS. Also, may not be a good idea to mix with St. John's wort. Also, do not use if pregnant or nursing, trying to conceive or under 18. If you have a medical condition, take only under the advice of your healthcare provider.

A placebo-controlled study and a randomized study comparing 5-HTP against methysergide each showed benefit in reducing migraine headache severity and duration. For aiding in sleep, 100 mg should be effective in a large adult male. For more information on best use, dose, time, with/without food, the best book on 5-HTP appears to be Dr. Ray Sahelian's 5-HTP: Nature's Serotonin Solution (Avery publishing Group, New York, 1998).

According to Jarrow: "Jarrow Formulas 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an extract of Griffonia simplicifolia seeds from coastal West Africa and is verified to be free of "peak X" contaminant. Purity is assured by HPLC. 5-HTP is the direct metabolic precursor of serotonin and is important for the production of melatonin.*"

Chill Pill™ is a natural, non-addictive, vegetarian multi-nutrient and botanical formula designed to help soothe the nerves and induce a state of calm and relaxation.*

What is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)?


Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is major neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). This neurotransmitter appears to have a significant influence on the pituitary gland’s hormone secretion, primarily through its hypothalamic effect.*


GABA is also the most important and widespread inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps prevent the over-firing of the nerve cells and decreases overall neuron activities in the CNS.* Over-firing can cause restlessness, spasmodic movements, irritability and anxiety.*


GABA is also utilized by the brain to create tranquility and calmness through the brain’s metabolic processes.*



How does GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) support health?

Can promote healthy sleep.*
Supports smooth involuntary movement.*
Supports a relaxed state of mind.*
Supports healthy resting growth hormone release after exercise.*
Low levels of GABA may impact mental health in a negative way.*

Why choose NSI GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)?

Non-habit-forming and non-drowsy formula.*
Each bottle contains 100 two-capsule servings.
Extraordinary quality.

Are there any studies where 5-HTP was compared directly to antidepressant drugs?

Are there any studies where 5-HTP was compared directly to antidepressant drugs?
Yes, there are several. 5-HTP is equal to or better than standard antidepressant drugs and the side effects are much less severe. The study with the most significance was one that compared to fluvoxamine, a "selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor" like Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft. In the study, subjects received either 5-HTP (100 mg) or fluvoxamine (50 mg) three times daily for 6 weeks (5). The percentage decrease in overall depression scores was slightly better in the 5-HTP group (60.7% vs. 56.1%). More patients responded to 5-HTP than fluvoxamine and 5-HTP was quicker acting than the fluvoxamine.

The real advantage of 5-HTP in this study was the low rate of side effect. Here is how the physicians described the differences among the two groups:

"Whereas the two treatment groups did not differ significantly in the number of patients sustaining adverse events, the interaction between the degree of severity and the type of medication was highly significant: fluvoxamine predominantly produced moderate to severe, oxitriptan [5-HTP] primarily mild forms of adverse effects."

The most common side effects with 5-HTP were nausea, heartburn, and gastrointestinal problems (flatulence, feelings of fullness, and rumbling sensations). These side effects were rated as being very mild to mild. In contrast, most of the side effects experienced in the fluvoxamine group were of moderate to severe intensity.

5HTP supplement benefit

5HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a supplement that converts in the brain into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter involved in mood, behavior, appetite, impulse control such as gambling, and sleep. Scientists have examined its role in anxiety treatment, panic attacks, headache relief, and other medical conditions. Other nutrients and herbs that have an influence on stress or anxiety include passion flower herb, tryptophan amino acid, kava root, and valerian root. Mind Power Rx is a formula that helps balance mood and provides mental clarity.

5HTP and serotonin
When you take a 5HTP supplement, it is absorbed into your bloodstream and makes itself to the brain where it converts into serotonin, a crucial brain chemical involved in mood, behavior, appetite, and sleep. However, a 5HTP supplement is not consistent in inducing and maintaining sleep. High dosages may cause vivid dreams, including nightmares. For better sleep, consider Good Night Rx. 5HTP may work better for sleep in some people if a lower dose of 10 to 30 mg is tried one to three hours before bed. Serotonin is also involved in impulse control. For instance, low levels may lead to addictive behavior such as gambling or other habits resulting from weak will power. Serotonin is known as 5-HT, or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and is found in many places in the body particularly the brain, gastrointestinal system, and blood cells.
