How does 5-HTP work?
Research on fruit flies, mice and rats conducted in 2018 based on the analysis of the effects of 5-HTP and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the above, indicated that the combination of the above influenced sleep - its quality and duration. Another proved that 5-HTP may be beneficial in the treatment of agitation disorders such as sleep anxiety and sleepwalking. Taking 5-HTP may support behaviors that help a person lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
In a 2017 study, researchers gave seven healthy people a 5-HTP supplement and another seven vitamin C. They then performed an MRI scan showing participants real food and food pictures to see how their brains responded. The brain's response to protein-rich foods was more likely in people who took the 5-HTP supplement than in others. Protein can help maintain a healthy body weight, so researchers have concluded that 5-HTP can help you lose weight by reducing your cravings for unhealthy food.
In another study, 20 overweight women were analyzed, 10 of whom were taking the 5-HTP supplement for 4 weeks. The remaining 10 women took the placebo for the same duration. At the end of the study, women who took 5-HTP reported feeling more full or full when eating, which led to reduced food intake. Women who took 5-HTP also had a lower body mass index - BMI.
This supplement has a wide range of effects, ranging from extending the REM sleep phase and improving the regeneration process (especially recommended for athletes), but also works in the fight against headaches, including migraine, and supports the fight against chronic depression. In higher doses, it is an effective appetite inhibitor. It contributes to the overall improvement of well-being and mood.
