In the body 5-HT is converted into serotonin. Serotonin controls a variety of functions in the human body and brain. Inadequate serotonin is believed to play a role in depression and mood disturbances. Serotonin is also converted into melatonin in the pineal gland where it plays an important role in the human sleep cycle (circadian rhythm). SOLAL 5-HTP promotes healthy mood balance and sleep. Also, helps reduce cravings (such as for carbohydrates).
