Supplementation with 5-HTP has been shown to increase serotonin levels in the central nervous system. The essential amino acid, tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase can be inhibited by a number of factors including stress, insulin resistance, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency, and insufficient magnesium levels. Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and thus supports optimal levels of serotonin. 5-HTP also readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and bypasses competition with other amino acids, making it a more efficient precursor for serotonin production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-HTP is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to be associated with the feeling of well-being. In addition to supporting a healthy mental outlook and mood, studies have also shown serotonin to encourage deeper sleep and to support healthy appetite regulation. Unlike oral serotonin, 5-HTP is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and increase synthesis of serotonin in the central nervous system. 5-HTP is extracted naturally from the seed of the African plant\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGriffonia simplicifolia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orthomolecular","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401318469907,"sku":"","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/1141\/2243\/files\/574-90-5-htp.tmb-media470.png?v=1738617102"},{"product_id":"ortho-molecular-prenatal-complete-with-dha","title":"Ortho Molecular Prenatal Complete with DHA","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"detailsContainerDT\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailsContentDT\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-content-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSell By: 04\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Healthy Metabolism During the Preconception, Prenatal and Postnatal Stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides Macronutrients and Micronutrients Essential for Energy Production and Fetal Development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Healthy Fetal Nervous System Development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-content-tab\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preconception, prenatal and postnatal stages are periods when it is essential to optimize health and nutrition, both for mother and baby.

In fact, the liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and holds about one pint (13%) of the body's blood supply at any given moment. Some of the more well-known functions of the liver include production of certain proteins for blood plasma, production of cholesterol and lipoproteins to help carry fats through the body, conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage, and balancing or producing glucose as needed.
