Overview
What is 5-HTP and why has it become one of the most talked-about supplements on the market? 5-HTP is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body and helps in the manufacture of serotonin, a brain chemical that is associated with the feeling of well-being and fulfillment. Now, science has discovered that by taking additional amounts of 5-HTP—as an over-the-counter supplement—you may be able to increase your levels of serotonin naturally without the serious side-effects of prescription drugs.
In this balanced and informative guide, Othniel J. Seiden, M.D., provides everything you need to know about this revolutionary supplement, including:
How 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades to treat depression
How 5-HTP may help reduce your appetite, improve sleep quality, and ease migraines
What are the potential side-effects
And much more!
