5-HTP Review Review by Astro In-House Review

Rating

Griffonia Simplificolia is a natural mood lifter also known as 5-HTP that is commonly found in a variety of diet pills. The mood lifting ingredients found in 5-HTP, when used in diet pills, have been found to provide much better results. There are several benefits to the use of 5-htp such and in increase in serotonin which has been found to suppress the appetite.

Studies have shown that serotonin, a neurotransmitter is responsible for mood and the 5-HTP increases the serotonin resulting in a natural increase in mood. The results are similar to those found in a mild antidepressant. Anti-depressants are used by people to raise their mood during times of depression. There are no completed trials as of yet, however, testing is being conducted by pharmaceutical companies for the use of antidepressants as a weight loss medication.

It is important to keep in mind that the ingredients found in 5-HTP are not promoting weight loss, however, it has been shown to increase the mood level. It is not intended to be a replacement for genuine ingredients intended for weight loss. The primary purpose of 5-HTP is to increase the mood.

With the appropriate ingredients that have been manufactured for the purpose of weight loss, the addition of 5-HTP is often to be a beneficial and complimentary ingredient. The basic requirements of supplements used for weight loss must be met prior to the additional of complementary ingredients such as 5-HTP. (Posted on 2/4/11)
