5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino acid and is a precursor to Serotonin and Melatonin. Serotonin is an essential neurotransmitter that regulates appetite and supports a healthymood. Melatonin is a neurotransmitter that supports a healthy sleep/wake cycle. 5-HTP has beenclinically tested to determine its effectiveness in treating depression, compared to traditional anti-depressants, which can sometimes have undesirable side effects. Clinical studies also reveal promisingresults when used to treat anxiety and healthy appetite control.**
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally-occurring amino acid extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia plant. It is a chemical precursor as well as metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan.
This means that 5-HTP converts directly into serotonin in the brain. Serotonin has many profoundly important functions, including a role in sleep, appetite, memory, learning, temperature regulation, mood, sexual behavior, cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, and endocrine regulation.
