About
5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptophan, is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. 5-HTP is produced by the body from the amino acid tryptophan, which is also found in certain foods, but can also be taken as a dietary supplement. 5-HTP supplements are often used to help increase serotonin levels in the brain and may be helpful in managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
