5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid Tryptophan and a direct precursor of Serotonin, an important neurotransmitter released in response to emotional or mood changes.

It helps increase Serotonin levels in the brain, which may positively impact depression reduction, self-esteem, sleep, mood, anxiety, aggression, appetite control, body temperature, sexual behavior, and pain perception.

Since Serotonin circulating in the bloodstream usually cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, it must be produced in the brain from 5-HTP.

Serotonin deficiency in the brain is linked to neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, tardive dyskinesia, and sleep problems.
