What is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)?

5-Hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid. It has been researched as a mood stabilizer to boost or maintain serotonin production. [1]

Potential Benefits of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)

The human body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin. Serotonin deficiency may lead to issues with sleep, obesity, anxiety, depression, and other health issues. GABA works with 5-HTP to produce serotonin, stabilizing your mood. [2], [3] Studies have shown that intake of 5-HTP may result in eating fewer calories which may stabilize blood sugar. [4] Some research suggests that 5-HTP may also help prevent migraines or the frequency of headaches. [5]

Do Tru Drinks Have 5-HTP?

While our enhanced sparkling waters do not contain 5-HTP, our Tru Dream Drink (Calm Blend) does contain GABA.
