Stress and inflammation divert tryptophan down an alternate pathway (known as the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ekynurenine pathway\u003c\/em\u003e) which does not make 5-HTP, and produces kynurenine instead of serotonin as an end product. To drive the serotonin pathway, 5-HTP, the critical intermediary in serotonin synthesis, must be created or supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerotonin is best known as our feel-good, calming neurotransmitter. Serotonin also plays an important role in proper function of the brain-gut axis, a two-way system of communication between the central nervous system and the GI tract. Up to 95% of the body's serotonin is located in the gut. Serotonin is also the precursor of melatonin, a neurotransmitter which helps maintain circadian rhythm and is required for healthy functioning of the sleep\/wake cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a supplement, 5-HTP has been researched primarily for helping to support healthy mood and a healthy relaxation response. In addition, 5-HTP has been suggested to help promote improved appetite control, particularly in relation to sugar and carbohydrate cravings. 5-HTP also may help to support healthy digestive and intestinal barrier function, notably in people with irritable bowel syndrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5-HTP SELECT is a custom formulation combining 50 mg of 5-HTP with 10 mg of Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate (P5P), the activated form of vitamin B6. P5P serves as a required cofactor in serotonin synthesis, supports healthy neurotransmitter metabolism overall and helps to promote the efficacy of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56592556556666,"sku":"MOSS_074","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/0092\/1883\/files\/5htp.png?v=1771232962","url":"https:\/\/amritasync.co.uk\/products\/5-htp-select-90-capsules-moss-nutrition","provider":"Amrita Sync","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
