Patient One 5-HTP supplies 100 mg of natural 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Studies suggest that 5-HTP supports healthy levels of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that affects emotions, behavior, appetite and sleep.

Adequate levels of serotonin in the brain are related to a balanced emotional state. By regulating activity of certain excitatory hormones, including dopamine and noradrenaline, serotonin helps promote a sense of calmness and relaxation. In numerous studies, significant positive response was shown in individuals with negative mood status when supplementing with 50–300 mg 5-HTP daily.

Acting as a satiety signal in the brain, serotonin helps naturally regulate food intake. Studies support the role of 5-HTP in appetite and weight management. When used in higher doses, 5 HTP has been shown to decrease food consumption and assist in weight management.

As a precursor of melatonin, serotonin is involved in regulating sleep patterns and has a beneficial effect on sleep/wake cycles and sleep quality.

5-HTP may be used during the day to support healthy mood or appetite or at bedtime to support sleep.
