5-HTP is an active ingredient that has gained popularity in recent years for its potential to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common gastrointestinal disorder. This ingredient, extracted from medicinal herbs of African origin, particularly from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia herb, plays a crucial role in converting tryptophan into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects various functions in the body.
IBS is characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. While the exact cause of IBS is not clear, many gastroenterologists believe it stems from neurological factors. Prolonged stress, anxiety, and insomnia can lead to central nervous system disorders that affect intestinal nerves through the brain-gut axis, causing abnormal contractions in the colon.
Research suggests that 5-HTP can help alleviate IBS symptoms by converting into serotonin and adjusting the activity of the central nervous system and intestinal nerves. This active ingredient can reduce intestinal spasms, aid in digestion, and produce better stools. Furthermore, 5-HTP can help with psychological issues that often accompany IBS, creating a sense of optimism and joy.
To leverage the benefits of 5-HTP for treating IBS, Vietnamese scientists have combined this active ingredient with other medicinal herbs like arachnids, astragalus, and white dahlia known for their stomach-strengthening properties. The result is Trang Phuc Linh Plus, a product specifically designed for spastic colon disease or IBS.
Trang Phuc Linh Plus tablets have been shown to effectively regulate intestinal motility and reduce colon spasms while restoring the mucosa of the digestive tract through research conducted by Hanoi Medical University. A survey at the end of December 2023 revealed that 98% of users were satisfied with the product. Trang Phuc Linh Plus is available in over 10,000 pharmacies nationwide and through major chains like Long Chau
