5-HTP – my personal recommendation for moodiness, anxiety, depression and general sleep difficulties

5-HTPIf you feel moody, anxious, depressed, stressed or have any combination of these, I would like to personally recommend you to take 5-HTP supplements.

5-HTP is an amino acid that is integral in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that causes happiness and positivity. Serotonin is produced by the body from tryptophan and 5-HTP is the immediate precursor to serotonin.

5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin and has been studied extensively for its role as a treatment in depression and weight loss. It also has an important role in sleep regulation, appetite control, immune function and cardiovascular health.

Truth be told, I don’t take this every single day. I use it specifically when I have had late nights and felt that I really need to sleep well tonight. Quite consistently, I get restful sleeps without my mind going wild about things I have to do the following day or reflecting on things that have happened. The supplements are not expensive and are pretty safe to consume.

You can get the same brand that I’m taking (Now Foods, 5-HTP, 100 mg) or get it from your own preferred supplement company.
