Effects

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. It is necessary for the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin.

The inclusion of 5-HTP in this supplement boosts its serotonin level, thereby minimizing the effects of a serotonin deficiency, such as insomnia and anxiety.

Tyrosine was added to this formula for three key reasons. First, it helps reduce the effects of stress, including anxiety and insomnia. Secondly, according to some studies, low tyrosine levels can play a role in insomnia, even when stress is not a factor. Finally, the use of tyrosine helps boost energy levels in those who are sleep-deprived.
