Verifiable science

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediary in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid tryptophan into serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the intermediate 5-HTP. In the body, it is converted to serotonin by the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme.1 Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotions, appetite and sleep/wake cycles.2,3 In clinical studies, administration of 5-HTP promoted serotonin production.4 The 5-HTP provided in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.
