5-hydroxytryptophan and Bipolar Disorder

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Bipolar Disorder in 30 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.

Bipolar Disorder: A major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.
