5-HTP para Emotional Eating

C Evidências Evidência limitada de estudos de pequena dimensão, mas existem alguns sinais positivos.

As a serotonin precursor, 5-HTP may reduce emotional and stress-driven eating through modulation of hypothalamic satiety centers and reward pathways. Pilot studies show reduced carbohydrate cravings. Must avoid combination with SSRIs due to serotonin syndrome risk.
