TravaCor, serotonin, and methylation
TravaCor contains ingredients important for serotonin and melatonin synthesis
- 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin
- Vitamin B6 is a cofactor required for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin
- Vitamin C and 5-MTHF (from Quatrefolic®) help protect and regenerate tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) from oxidation
- 5-MTHF and vitamin B12 are important for methylation processes including the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin
One serving (3 capsules) of TravaCor contains vitamins at 50% (folate), 67% (C), 450% (B6), and 500% (B12) of the recommended daily value
TravaCor contains proven ingredients
In a randomized, double-blind study, supplementation with 5-HTP was shown to improve mood as measured by improvements in HAM-D scores
- 5-HTP increased in increments from 150 mg daily during the first 2 weeks, 300 mg daily the following 2 weeks, and 400 mg daily the remainder of the study
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine was shown to significantly reduce feelings of stress compared to placebo
- Following single administration, L-theanine significantly reduced feelings of stress under mental strain
TravaCor contains 5-HTP and L-theanine in amounts that meet and exceed those used in the above studies
