Description
What is 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that your body naturally produces. It is a chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems, so supplementing 5-HTP has become popular for increasing serotonin levels.
