What is Doctor’s Best 5-HTP Enhanced with Vitamins B6 and C?

Doctor’s Best 5-HTP Enhanced with Vitamins B6 and C provides a drug-free alternative to support sleep, mood, anxiety and stress. It aids serotonin production and serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brainthat helps regulate sleep, body temperature, sexual desire, mood and appetite. Many people suffer from depleted serotonin levels, and that negatively affects our mood and sleep patterns. Dips in serotonin levels can come from physiological causes, stress, dieting, low protein intake, and digestive disorders.

5-HTP is a natural metabolite of the essential amino acid tryptophan and functions as a precursor for serotonin. It is derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, is free of synthetic ingredients and has a high level of purity. 5-HTP is the immediate precursor of serotonin and converts directly to serotonin in the brain. Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C help 5-HTP convert to serotonin.

How does it work?

In the body, 5-HTP is formed from tryptophan by the addition of an –OH group, which gives 5-HTP its antioxidant properties. Whereas tryptophan may be sidetracked into the production of niacin or protein, 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and becomes available for serotonin synthesis. Therefore, supplementation with 5-HTP is a more direct route to serotonin production. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) is necessary for 5-HTP to be converted to serotonin. Vitamin C participates in the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and of tyrosine to norepinephrine, another important neurotransmitter.
