Random But Useful Nutrition Fact #16

Trouble sleeping? Feeling down? Or how about you are just being a grumpy asshole? Well, the parts of the brain that are responsible for serotonin and dopemine production might be outta wack. Try taking 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). 5-HTP is the precursor to tryptophan, which some of you might know because of Thanksgiving turkeys and why you are always so tired after eating them. Anyways, 5-HTP will then form either serotonin with the help of vitamin B6 or melatonin. Both of these are powerful hormones that control mood, anxiety, sleep, and much more. This can be found in supplement form from many certified companies to insure their quality.
