Description
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) is an amino acid derived from the bean of a woody climbing shrub called Griffonia simplicifolia which grows in West Central Africa. 5HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that is involved in the regulation of pain, sleep, mood and other brain and nerve functions.
5HTP is synthesized in the body from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan, which is found in high quality proteins sucd as meat, fish and dairy products. As well as its conversion to 5HTP, L-tryptophan is also converted to niacin in the body, making 5HTP a more reliable and consistent serotonin pre-cursor.
