5-HTP for Mood Elevation, Depression, and Panic Attacks
According to medical journals and reviews, it has been proven that 5-HTP helps improve moods of depressed patients and helps panic attacks. The same sources generally recommended that more research on 5-HTP should be done before claims were made.
5-HTP for Sleep and Weight Loss
5-HTP may aid in weight loss and improve sleep patterns for some individuals. Research suggests that good serotonin levels may reduce appetite, thereby assisting in weight loss. Serotonin is converted into melatonin in the pineal gland and melatonin, in turn, regulates sleep cycles. The theory is that if 5-HTP can increase serotonin levels, it may be able to improve sleep and aid in weight loss. In the medical articles reviewed, positive results have been reported, but the authors caution that more research is needed before claims can be made.
