- absorption of 5-htp is not influenced by other amino acids & therefore it can be taken with or without meals, without losing its efficacy.
- 5-htp has a much higher efficacy than tryptophan which is available in small amounts in foods such as red meats & seeds because tryptophan cannot cross the blood brain barrier without the help of transporter molecules.
- the therapeutic administration of 5-HTP may be efficient in depression, fibromyalgia, suppressing appetite and insomnia [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

dopamine is your reward and pleasure chemical messenger which is released when you derive pleasure from activities such as sex, great food or accomplishment. According to the Natural Medicines Database, dopamine is also responsible for helping to modulate body movements, sex drive (libido), emotional states and the capacity to handle everyday stress. 1 in supporting dopamine production, tyrosine can help to enhance emotional wellbeing and mental function especially under situations involving environmental and emotional stress or when dopamine levels require additional support [7,8,9,]
