5-HTP increases serotonin levels in the brain which may positively enhance mood, sleep and weight management! How Does NSI® 5-HTP 200 mg work? -HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptophan, is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin - which is essential for controlling mood, sleep and pain levels. The body produces 5-HTP from tryptophan, an amino acid found in small amounts in high-protein foods such as chicken, fish, beef and dairy products. It can also be taken in supplemental form, in which case it's extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP is believed to help increase serotonin production in the brain, which may positively influence mood. 5-HTP may also help with other health issues related to serotonin deficiency, including nervousness, body tension and stiffness and head cavity discomfort. Certain elements of sleep are also believed to be affected by 5-HTP. Supplementing may not only assist with falling asleep faster, but also with increasing the duration of dream states (REM sleep) and of deep slumber. 5-HTP may also promote weight management by helping to reduce cravings for sweets and starches, which may help contribute to healthier overall eating habits. For best results and quickest absorption, take 5-HTP on an empty stomach. Do not take 5-HTP for more than three consecutive months without consulting a healthcare practitioner. NSI® 5-HTP 200 mg is better because it:. Is a higher-dose of 5-HTP, ideal for maintaining mood, sleep, and weight management after smaller-dose tolerance has been established. Is available at a better value than other 5-HTP products on the market.

"I brought this product initially because I read that it helps with weight and appetite control. I discovered that it helps me sleep better at night. I think it is great just for that reason. I continue to take it for that reason."

"I started taking NSI 5-htp to help with sleep, I have Fibromyalgia and have trouble falling and staying asleep, HTP was recommended by a friend and it does seem to help. NSI's product is not as expensive as that from the health food store and works just as well. Thanks NSI for another great product."

"5-HTP is a great product it really works, since taking it I am sleeping deeper & longer then before waking up feeling rested.
Take 300-400mg a day (200mg hour before bed time), and try to go to bed the same time every night. It also reduces your stress...
Things I take with it: Calcium, Magnesium, vitamin D (all in one), B complex, Synergy (multi vitamin version 2), Advance C, acetyl L Carnitine, and NSI Organic Cold-Milled Flaxseed
I use NSI products because they are in Veg Caps and easy to swallow, AND great prices"

"I love this product. My doctor recommended it to me this year and it has helped tremendously. If you are looking for a supplement that helps with sugar and carbohydrate cravings, look no further. This has also helped me with sleeping better. I would definately give this to a friend to try."
