Application: 5-Hydroxytryptophan is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It is the direct biochemical precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter. After oral administration, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted into serotonin in the central nervous system, thereby supporting mood regulation, promoting sleep, aiding in headache relief, and assisting in appetite control. It is commonly used in dietary supplements as an ingredient to support emotional balance, improve sleep, and assist in wellness management.
