David's 5-HTP SR™

The holiday season is full of stress, extravagant food and emotions as we shop, mingle and jingle all the way. Read why serotonin is such a helpful brain chemical and how David's 5-HTP SR™ may be the go-to supplement to maintain optimal levels.

The Serotonin Connection to Mood, Pain, Sleep & Weight

You need serotonin, a helpful neurotransmitter, to keep your mood light and assist with sleep regulation. If you suffer with any kind of pain, serotonin can modulate or dampen pain signals, too. Low levels of serotonin are found in many chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia per research by Dr. I. Jon Russell. Why would you be low? Shorter days of sunlight in winter. Some people suffer with seasonal affective disorder due to lower serotonin levels for this reason. But part of the problem may be due to the nature of of serotonin in that it does not hang around your nervous system very long. Your body is constantly replenishing and recycling this helpful brain chemical from tryptophan, one of the amino acids in foods like turkey and milk. However, tryptophan has to be converted to 5-HTP before it can get into the brain.

Some research suggests you can raise serotonin levels by exercise which releases stored tryptophan, by getting more sunlight that increases serotonin production and by eating foods containing both tryptophan and carbohydrates as a precursor to 5-HTP.

There’s an easier way to reap the benefits of optimal serotonin levels if you suspect you are low. Take 5-HTP as a supplement. David’s 5-HTP SR™ is one way to keep serotonin levels from fluctuating since it is sustained-release. It is formulated to slowly release 5-HTP over a period of time which keeps serotonin in the nervous system longer in a more steady state. This is good news for sleep help, pain relief and promoting positive feelings. Do you need a couple more reasons to take 5-HTP? Serotonin appears to suppress appetite, curb carb cravings and leave you still feeling satisfied. You'll eat less and not gain those extra holiday pounds. Serotonin is the happy, helpful brain chemical you'll want to keep around!
