Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Previous observations have shown that oral administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) without dietary prescriptions causes anorexia, decreased food intake, and weight loss in obese subjects."5.07Eating behavior and adherence to dietary prescriptions in obese adult subjects treated with 5-hydroxytryptophan. ( Antonucci, F; Cangiano, C; Cascino, A; Ceci, F; Del Ben, M; Laviano, A; Muscaritoli, M; Rossi-Fanelli, F, 1992)
" Moreover, the study evaluated the bioavailability of 5-hydroxytryptophan following sublingual delivery over 8 weeks, by comparing 24-h urinary excretion of 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), determined at baseline and after 2 months."2.74Satiety and amino-acid profile in overweight women after a new treatment using a natural plant extract sublingual spray formulation. ( Iadarola, P; Klersy, C; Monteferrario, F; Opizzi, A; Rondanelli, M, 2009)
