Thank you for contacting us about 5 HTP. I beleive Dr. Oz has discussed 5 HTP however I am not aware of the specific brand he may have been referring to. Benefits of 5-HTP and L-tryptophan is a neurotransmitter called "serotonin." An adequate supply of serotonin is often the key to: Promoting Weight Loss, Supporting Emotional Balance, Achieving Deep and Restful Sleep, Calming Nervous Irritability, and Supporting a Cheerful Mood.
