Who Needs 5-HTP Capsules?

5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan is a product of tryptophan that yields 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, memory, sleep, reward, learning, and many other physiological functions. Serotonin further produces melatonin that controls the sleep week cycle or circadian rhythm. Therefore, 5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan is a key molecule responsible for the biosynthesis of serotonin and melatonin. It is involved in metabolic and neurological pathways in the human body.[1] If caught in a persistent low mood, 5-HTP supplements may help you tackle this problem.

Wellabs 5-HTP Capsules are third-party tested capsules meticulously calibrated for 18+ adults trapped in low mood and productivity depths. A single serving size of 2 tablets provides 800 mg of Proprietary blend with 5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan.

Why Does 5-HTP Capsules Work?

5-HTP capsules are packed with Proprietary blend with 5-HTP, which may help enhance mood and productivity and improve brain health and sleep quality.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a metabolite of L-tryptophan that is involved in the production of serotonin. It is directly converted to serotonin without any feedback mechanism. L-tryptophan is hydroxylated to form 5-hydroxytryptophan, which includes 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or serotonin as a product of the decarboxylation reaction. Serotonin is critical for mood regulation, cognitive functions, memory, hunger management, learning, and sleep.

Serotonin plays a critical role in mood regulation and inducing happiness. It increases nerve stimulation and generates more nerve impulses. It also is involved in the maintenance of bowel functions. Serotonin is released when stomach cells sense food ingestion. Serotonin is also stored in the platelets, which helps with blood clotting.[2]

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and physiological functions of the body. It is a precursor of niacin, serotonin, melatonin, vitamin B6, and tryptamine.[3]

L-tryptophan synthesizes tryptamine which undergoes a decarboxylation reaction to produce serotonin. Tryptamine controls the excitatory and inhibitory functions of serotonin. Moreover, it produces melatonin. Melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycle, diurnal rhythms, reproductive health, and immune functions. In the darkness, melatonin positively affects behavior, mood, and sleep physiology.[4]

Wellabs 5-HTP capsules are a unique formulation of these ingredients that may help elevate mood, and productivity, reduce brain fog, support mental clarity and focus, and induce good sleep. These mood support supplements may help you take control of your emotions and embark on a transformative journey toward a brighter horizon.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan)

The 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) found in this supplement is the same amino acid that your body produces naturally. Why then, one may ask, would one need to supplement their levels of this important bio-compound? Apparently, it turns out that as much as our bodies are perfectly capable of synthesizing this amino acid without external aid, the capacity to do so is often easily impacted by a variety of mental or physical factors. And considering that 5-HTP is critically needed for the production of serotonin[3], this effectively predisposes you to anxiety, unexplained weight gain, chronic depression and a slew of other health disorders. Serotonin is, after all, the main chemical messenger between all your nerve cells. As such, its presence or absence has a huge bearing on your overall well being, both physically and emotionally.

B COMPLEX VITAMINS

B COMPLEX VITAMINS

B Complex Vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins that play a vital role in cellular metabolism and energy production. This complex includes vitamins such as B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine) and B7 (biotin). Each of these vitamins has a unique function, yet collectively they contribute to the overall health of the nervous system, skin, and red blood cells. For instance, thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, while cobalamin is essential for DNA synthesis and neurological health. A deficiency in any of these vitamins can lead to symptoms like fatigue, anemia, depression, and skin disorders. Supplementing with B Complex Vitamins can support overall energy levels, brain function, and cellular health.

ASHWAGANDHA ROOT

ASHWAGANDHA ROOT

Ashwagandha, scientifically known as Withania somnifera, is an ancient medicinal herb prominent in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of India. It’s known for its adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body manage stress. Ashwagandha is believed to enhance brain function, lower cortisol levels, and help fight symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s also known for its potential to boost testosterone and increase fertility in men. The root contains compounds that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling, lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system. Its use is often recommended for chronic stress, fatigue, pain, skin conditions, diabetes, arthritis, and epilepsy.

GABA (GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID)

GABA (GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID)

GABA, or Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It’s primarily known for its calming effect on the nervous system. GABA functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning it blocks certain brain signals and decreases activity in the nervous system. This action helps to alleviate anxiety, stress, and fear by reducing neuronal excitability. It’s also used to improve mood, relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Additionally, GABA plays a role in muscle tone regulation and may aid in sleep quality.

L-THEANINE

L-THEANINE

L-Theanine is an amino acid most commonly found in tea leaves. It is known for its ability to promote relaxation without drowsiness, making it popular for stress relief. L-Theanine works by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, sleep, and emotion. It also enhances cognitive function, attention, and mental clarity. Studies have suggested that L-Theanine can improve sleep quality, reduce the physical symptoms of stress, and boost the immune system. Its unique properties make it a favored supplement for promoting a relaxed yet alert state.

VALERIAN ROOT

VALERIAN ROOT

Valerian root, derived from the Valeriana officinalis plant, has been used for centuries to treat insomnia, anxiety, and nervous restlessness. It is known for its sedative and anxiolytic effects. The exact mechanism of how valerian root works is not fully understood, but it is believed to increase the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps regulate nerve cells and calm anxiety. People often use valerian root to improve sleep quality, reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, and decrease nocturnal awakenings. It’s also considered to be helpful in managing stress and promoting relaxation without causing a significant sedative effect during the day.

LEMON BALM

LEMON BALM

Lemon balm, a member of the mint family, is a perennial herb known for its lemon-scented leaves. It has been used in traditional medicine for its calming, digestive, and sedative properties. The herb contains compounds that have a soothing effect on the nervous system, making it effective in reducing anxiety, promoting sleep, and improving mood. Lemon balm is also used to ease symptoms of indigestion, including bloating and gas. Its antiviral properties make it useful in treating cold sores. The herb is often consumed as a tea, but it is also available in the form of capsules, extracts, and topical ointments.
