Unlocking the Potential of 5-HTP for Improved Mood and Sleep Quality
"5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring compound in the body and is also sourced from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia."It performs an essential role in serotonin synthesis, a neurotransmitter crucial for mood regulation, appetite control, and sleep patterns.
