Getting enough sound sleep is important to your muscle gains and fat loss. If you have trouble sleeping, one supplement to try is 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP.
According to the May ’12 Bottom Line Health, it plays a key role in serotonin production. That helps regulate mood and is the biochemical precursor of melatonin.
Another sleep aid is phophytidylserine, a soy lipid that has been shown to lower the stress hormone cortisol. Having more meltaonin and less cortisol leads to sound, soothing, size-building sleep.
