What are 5-Hydroxytryptophan Tablets?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring compound that serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter present in the central nervous system. It is derived from the amino acid tryptophan and is converted into serotonin via enzymatic processes.
5-HTP is often extracted from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It is primarily recognized for its potential role in modulating serotonin levels in the brain, as serotonin is involved in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and pain perception.
