What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino acid and a chemical precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 different amino acids that can be combined to form various proteins, which are essential for numerous bodily functions such as muscle building, enzyme production, and hormone regulation. 5-HTP is derived from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.
Health benefits of 5-HTP:![]()
Griffonia simplicifolia is good for memory.*
5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin and melatonin
5-HTP is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning that it cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. Once in the body, tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, which can then be converted into serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite. *
Vegans and vegetarians may often have a 5-HTP deficiency
Vegans and vegetarians may often have a deficiency in 5-HTP because they may consume less tryptophan, an amino acid primarily found in animal products. Supplementation could be beneficial in such cases.
5-HTP supplements are more efficient than L-tryptophan supplements
5-HTP supplements are more efficient than L-tryptophan supplements because 5-HTP is one step closer to the production of serotonin. L-tryptophan must first be converted into 5-HTP before it can be converted into serotonin. By taking 5-HTP directly, this intermediate step is bypassed, leading to a faster and more efficient increase in serotonin levels in the brain. As a result, effects on mood, sleep, and other functions may be noticeable more quickly.
Combining 5-HTP with Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC)
5-HTP is a natural precursor to serotonin, and NAC is known as a powerful precursor to glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Together, they bring a clean balance of mood support and cellular protection. It’s a combination that nourishes both the mind and the body. By pairing them, you benefit from emotional balance and long-term resilience at the same time. *
