5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, which mainly affects mood and promotes happiness, but it also affects appetite, sleep cycles and pain perception.
It is used to suppress appetite, reduce fat intake, reduce anxiety, control mood, promote sleep, and promote the health of mood and nervous system.
Under normal circumstances, the effects and effects of serotonin include the following:
1, inhibition of neurotransmitters: L-5-Hydroxytryptophan is a neurotransmitter in the human body, and it is bound to different receptors to play different roles, and it is the highest content in the cerebral cortex and synapses.
2, constricting blood vessels: For peripheral tissue, L-5-Hydroxytryptophan can stimulate vascular smooth muscle contraction and contraction of blood vessels.
3, L-5-Hydroxytryptophan is mainly distributed in the pineal gland and hypothalamus of the brain, so it can participate in the regulation of sleep rhythm and temperature regulation. Excessive levels of L-5-Hydroxytryptophan can lead to body temperature, food intake, mental and emotional abnormalities, cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, and neuromuscular abnormalities. Too little will lead to depression and anxiety, compulsive behavior and thinking, memory loss, severe pain, self-harm and suicide.
