Description

What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP, (5-hydroxytryptophan), is the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-tryptophan and serotonin, and is extracted from the seed of an African plant. This dietary supplement is typically used as a sleep supplement and supports a positive mood and relaxation.* 5-HTP supports the production of serotonin in the brain and central nervous system, and serotonin can impact sleep, mood, appetite, and body temperature.*
