| Aches and pains in the body can cause restlessness, which may cause lack of sleep. Serotonin is an important initiator of sleep. Tryptophan is known to induce sleep by increasing the amounts of serotonin. It is also well established that 5-HTP is a more effective inducer of serotonin and, hence, a better sleep initiator. In fact, 5-HTP has the unique ability to increase the deep and restful sleep by as much as 25%. There is good evidence to support the role of 5-HTP in relieving migraines and general headaches. In addition to increasing serotnin levels, 5-HTP also increases endorphin levels, which typically are low in those suffering from migraine and persistent headaches. It is important to note that 5-HTP also helps in reducing weight. By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, 5-HTP increases the "feeling of satisfaction," leading to consumption of fewer calories at mealtimes. 5-HTP is not just for the athletes, however, or those with migraines and nondescript pains. It is a nutrient that has superior benefits for just about everyone. It induces restful sleep and, therefore, increases energy and productivity in general. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What Other Nutrients Should Be Taken with 5-HTP? It is important to maintain adequate levels of vitamin B6, niacin and magnesium when taking 5-HTP, since these are essential cofactors in the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. Why Prefer 5-HTP To Tryptophan? Presently, tryptophan is available only by prescription. Since 5-HTP is one step closer to conversion to serotonin, it is a better choice. What Is The Best Time to Take 5-HTP? The sedative effects of 5-HTP can be enhanced by taking it near bedtime with a carbohydrate source such as fruit or fruit juice. 5-HTP should not be taken before driving, undertaking any physical activity or operating heavy machinery. Can 5-HTP Also Help Manage Fibromyalgia? Clinical studies have shown that fibromyalgia may respond to nutritional management with 5-HTP. When used in clinical studies, improvements were observed in several areas such as the number of painful areas, morning stiffness, sleep pattern, anxiety and fatigue. What Are The Contradications? As a nutritional supplement, 5-HTP should not be taken with any antidepressant without consultating with the prescribing physician. What's In It?
