5-HTP: The Precursor to Serotonin

Taking 5-HTP helps with sleep in two ways! This amino acid is the direct precursor to serotonin and that neurotransmitter plays important roles in the sleep and wake cycles. It is serotonin’s relationship with melatonin, the sleep hormone, that helps us sleep. Melatonin is made from serotonin in the presence of darkness; therefore, healthy serotonin levels are essential in maintaining healthy melatonin levels. Both serotonin and melatonin are key for sleep but also keeping your biological clock in sync.

Redd Remedies feels that instead of jumping straight to the end product (or using a melatonin product), it’s better to balance serotonin and melatonin. By doing this you’ll get better results and more restful sleep. You can find 5-HTP as a key ingredient in At Ease PM™!
