1. Clinical trials show that 5-HTP is a safe, natural way to boost the brain serotonin levels.
2. 5- HTP provides the quickest, most effective, and most consistent overall results
in treating insomnia.
3. 5-HTP increases REM sleep significantly (typically by about 25 percent) while
simultaneously increasing deep sleep stages 3 and 4 without increasing total sleep time.
4. By shifting the balance of the sleep cycle, 5-HTP makes sleep more restful and
rejuvenating.
5. The impact of 5-HTP on sleep stages is dose-related; taking higher doses
produces a somewhat greater impact. In most cases, the lower dosage is
adequate. Higher doses may lead to a greater number of disturbing dreams
and nightmares due to abnormally prolonged REM sleep. It can also lead
to mild nausea.
