Almost 90% of the human body’s total serotonin is located in the alimentary canal, where it is used to regulate peristalsis. In the central nervous system, neurons use serotonin to regulate various functions including mood, appetite, and sleep. In humans, serotonin levels are affected by diet, specifically carbohydrate intake and the amino acid, tryptophan. Increased intake of tryptophan or its metabolic intermediate, 5-HTP, may increase serotonin levels and help support healthy mood and appetite as well as sleep through its role in serotonin synthesis. PV 5-HTP extract is made under strict European quality standards, which are comparable to Over-The-Counter drug standards in the US. It provides optimal levels of naturally occurring L-5-hydroxytryptophan. Our formula is synergized with important nutrients like vitamin C and B-6, which aid the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin in the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSide Effects\/Warnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsult a physician before taking this product while using antidepressants or MAO-inhibiting medications. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNot for use by children under 18 years.
