Clinically Studied Benefits (Human Evidence)
- Enhances sleep quality — 5-HTP and Valerian have been studied for sleep latency and REM parameters. (NIH/PubMed — 2020)
- Supports balanced mood — 5-HTP research explores effects on mood ratings; Valerian contributes calming support. (NIH/PubMed — Turner EH, 2006)
- Helps ease everyday tension — Trials report favorable changes on stress/relaxation scales with serotonergic and GABAergic support. (NIH/PubMed — Jangid P, 2013)
- Supports faster sleep onset — Valerian has been evaluated for time-to-sleep outcomes; 5-HTP complements sleep architecture. (NIH/PubMed — Soulairac A, 2004)
- Sleep quality — meta-analysis signal — Systematic reviews of valerian suggest benefit on perceived sleep quality (with study-quality caveats). (NIH/PubMed — Bent S, 2006)
Additional / Promising Evidence
- Synergy & sleep architecture — Exploratory work examines combined botanicals and sleep-cycle quality. (NIH/PubMed — 2020)
- Calm & relaxation — Valerian has long been reviewed for its role in relaxation responses and perceived sleep quality. (NIH/PubMed — 2020)
- Appetite regulation (5-HTP) — Investigated for supporting calorie control in diet programs. (NIH/PubMed — Ceci F, 1992)
University / Academic Context
- National University of Singapore (2024) — Clinical trial in older adults reported improved sleep quality with 5-HTP, with favorable shifts in gut-microbiome composition.
- University of Utah (2024) — Ongoing registered trial is investigating 5-HTP plus creatine on mood and serotonin-related biomarkers.
- Duke University (2019) — Preclinical work on slow-release 5-HTP suggests potential when combined with serotonergic support strategies.
- Southwest Medical University (2022) — Mouse model showed oral 5-HTP supported gut-brain axis balance with improvements in depressive-like behaviors.
- Yale University — Research exploring 5-HTP’s effects on attention and interactions with serotonin-receptor pathways.
- University of California, Irvine — Programs include investigations of traditional botanicals for sleep support.
Global Evidence & Authoritative Reviews
- Evidence synthesis — Academic reviews note that larger, high-quality RCTs are still needed; current human studies support roles in sleep regulation and mood support via serotonin pathways.
- Appetite/fullness — Evidence suggests 5-HTP may increase satiety and support calorie control in structured programs.
