5-hydroxytryptophan, better known as 5-HTP, is a chemical by-product of L-tryptophan, a protein building block. It is most commonly found in the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a native African plant. A 5-HTP supplement is converted to serotonin (the happy hormone) in the brain after consumption, and thus is used to treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Serotonin also impacts sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.
As a naturally occurring amino acid, 5-HTP pills are particularly sold to help improve mental health. Your doctor may prescribe 5-HTP for anxiety or depression to help elevate your mood using herbal ingredients rather than chemicals.
HerbsDaily offers a wide range of brands for high quality 5-HTP.
