The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme.1\u00a0Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, appetite and sleep\/wake cycles.2,3\u00a0In clinical studies, administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production.4\u00a0The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the\u00a0Griffonia simplicifolia\u00a0plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Turner EH, et al.\u00a0Pharmacol Ther.\u00a02006 Mar;109(3):325-38.<\/li>\n<li>Bruni O, et al.\u00a0Eur J Pediatr.\u00a02004 Jul;163(7):402-7.<\/li>\n<li>Rondanelli M, et al.\u00a0Eat Weight Disord.\u00a02012 Mar;17(1):e22-8.<\/li>\n<li>Croonenberghs J, et al.\u00a0Life Sci.\u00a02005 Mar 25;76(19):2171-83.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Promotes brain serotonin levels to support emotional well-being, healthy eating behavior, and healthy sleep<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":4024,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[13966454,529450],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2480","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-cognitive-health","product_cat-mental-health-stress-support","first","onbackorder","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2480"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2480"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pureencapsulations.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
