What are 5-hpt or sam-e, how well do they work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food supplements: 5-htp is a modified form of the essential Amino Acid tryptophan, from which the neurotransmitter serotonin is made. Serotonin is very important in mood and other functions. Sam-e is also a nutritional supplement; it's formed throughout the body and is vital to many biochemical processes -- including neurotransmitter synthesis and membrane function. Depending on patient & symptoms, they may help.
