Description
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of serotonin from tryptophan, an essential amino acid. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the intermediate 5-HTP. In the body, 5-HTP is converted to serotonin by the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by another enzyme. 5-HTP is involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotions and sleep/wake cycles. In clinical studies, the administration of 5-HTP improved the duration of REM sleep and promoted emotional well-being. The 5-HTP contained in this supplement is derived from a plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
