How it helps those with Long COVID
How it helps those with Long COVID
We often experience fatigue, cognitive impairments, and mood disturbances. Recent studies have identified a potential link between reduced serotonin levels and long COVID symptoms. Supplementing with 5-HTP, a direct precursor to serotonin, may help restore serotonin levels, potentially alleviating mood disorders and cognitive issues associated with long COVID. Additionally, improved serotonin levels can enhance sleep quality, addressing insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns common in long COVID patients.
Scientific Explanation
Scientific Explanation
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin from tryptophan. Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the rate-limiting step of tryptophan hydroxylase, facilitating increased production of serotonin in the central nervous system. Elevated serotonin levels can positively influence mood, sleep, and cognitive functions. In the context of long COVID, viral-induced inflammation may disrupt tryptophan metabolism, leading to serotonin depletion. By providing 5-HTP, this supplement may counteract serotonin deficits, potentially mitigating neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms associated with long COVID.
