Re: Syl - What's your take on 5-HTP? -nt-       12/05/09 09:18 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is produced by the body from tryptophan an essential amino acid found in variety of food particularly red meat, dairy products, nuts, seeds, bananas, soybeans and soy products, tuna, shellfish, and turkey. It is a precusor to seritonin and generally speaking the body produces 5-HTP in abundance from tryptophan from the diet. I have not seen any studies in the IBS research literature to support it use. I think there are some limited studies of its use for fibromyalgia. However, it is possible that might have some effects but it is unlikely to be a cure but rather an aid for managing symptoms. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
