These are the average 5-HTP experiences

What is 5 HTP?

5 HTP stands for 5-Hydroxytryptophan and is an amino acid found naturally in the plant Griffonia Simplicifolia. It is a chemical precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. 5HTP is incorporated into supplements, which people use as a natural treatment for things like depression or sleep disorders. Some research chemicals also focus on addressing sleep problems, such as the RC Bromonordiazepam. The plant Griffonia Simplicifolia is found mainly in Africa, and its seeds are processed into supplements containing 5HTP. In Africa, the plant is still used as a medicine to treat fever, as well as things like stomach upset and aches.

Werking van 5HTP

5-HTP is dus een voorloper van serotonine. Wanneer je 5HTP inneemt, wordt dit stofje in de hersenen daarom ook omgezet in serotonine met de hulp van meerdere hulpstoffen, zoals tryptofaan wat we via onze voeding binnenkrijgen. Wanneer 5-HTP is omgezet in serotonine, dan bindt deze neurotransmitter zich aan speciale serotonine-receptoren. Deze receptoren zorgen dan, wanneer geactiveerd, voor dingen als je stemming en je slaap. Mensen die 5-HTP genomen hebben, hebben vaak heel positieve ervaringen met slapen.

Dosage of 5 HTP

The dosage of 5 HTP depends on individual needs and averages between 50 and 400 milligrams per day. As with all kinds of products, it is advisable to start with a low dose if you have never had 5HTP before. For example, take a pill of 100 milligrams and steadily expand it as needed. What the duration of action of the supplement is also different for each person. Some people's experience with 5-HTP is that the drug works within days, while some have to wait weeks before they feel an effect. Take 5HTP consistently and then you will surely experience a noticeable effect.
