5-HTP
Finally. Compound
The serotonin arm. Included where the pattern involves the buffer between a trigger and a reaction.
What it does
5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, entering the pathway after its rate-limiting step. Estrogen influences serotonin signalling, so as estrogen becomes erratic through perimenopause, so does the regulation that sits between a moment and your response to it.
Why it sits alongside NMN
Serotonin is also what the body converts into melatonin, which is why mood and sleep tend to move together on these patterns. NMN rebuilds the NAD+ floor that regulation is paid for from.
The specifics
Two honest disclosures. This is the one compound in the range that uses a gelatin capsule, so it is not vegan or vegetarian. And if you take an SSRI, an SNRI, or any other medication affecting serotonin, speak with your clinician before starting 5-HTP.
