Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 FIGHT CHRONIC PAIN AND FATIGUE WITH 5-HTP 5-HTP, a serotonin booster helpful in the treatment of depression, is quickly absorbed into the brain. It is currently being investigated as a remedy for fibromyalgia (a relatively common condition that manifests itself in chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue). A deficiency of serotonin is linked to fibromyalgia. In two 50 patient trials, 100 mg. of 5-HTP were given orally three times daily. This resulted in a 50 percent reduction of all the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Many of the patients retained benefits for up to 90 days after the trial was completed.
