5 – HTP is L-5-hydroxytryptophan, a compound derived from the amino acid tryptophan present in protein foods and in the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant of African origin. 5 – HTP is mainly used to support mood due to its ability to stimulate serotonin which is a neurotransmitter promoting the feeling of well-being, and melatonin which is a neurohormone. It is also used to treat several other health conditions involving serotonin.
Comparison of 5 – HTP to various tricyclic antidepressants has shown that this molecule is as effective and acts more quickly than the latter, and causes fewer adverse effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, 5 – HTP may improve sleep quality. Furthermore, research attributes it to a role in reducing headaches and symptoms of fibromyalgia. Numerous clinical trials have shown that 5–HTP treatment results in improvement in several hallmark symptoms of fibromyalgia, including pain, morning stiffness, anxiety, and fatigue.
Ultimately, people suffering from mood disorders such as depressed mood or anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia or sleep disorders may benefit from supplementing with 5 – HTP.
