Description
Sfera 5 HTP Complex
The Griffonia seed is a black, dime-sized seed that contains the largest amount of the compound 5-HTP, making up nearly 20% of its composition. 5-HTP is a chemical that serves as a precursor to the synthesis of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that regulates mood, appetite, and sleep.
How 5HTP and serotonin work
Serotonin works by transmitting signals between nerve cells and altering brain functions that affect mood states and sleep. In fact, supplementing with 5HTP has been shown to lower depression symptoms as well as many prescription medications can.
Amino acid therapy is somewhat of an emerging field, which is based on the fact that certain amino acids have been found to be very helpful with treating conditions like sleep disorders, depression, fatigue, anxiety and sexual dysfunctions. Amino acids in general are a nutritional requirement for everyone: children, adults, vegetarians, omnivores and everyone in between. The best part about using targeted amino acids to help resolve health conditions and ease symptoms is that they’re completely natural, require no prescription and the vast majority of the time cause no side effects whatsoever.
Because of its ability to boost serotonin levels, 5HTP has been used to help treat numerous disorders, including:
- sleep disorders
- mood disorders like depression and anxiety
- migraines and tension headaches
- binge eating disorder
- learning disabilities like ADHD
- PMS and menopausal symptoms
- fibromyalgia
- and more
