Science & Research/Verifiable Science

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with 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 emotion, appetite and sleep/wake cycles.^{2, 3} In clinical studies, administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production.⁴ The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.^‡
