Description

5 HTP is the easy to pronounce short form of 5-hydroxytryptophan-a chemical our body makes out of tryptophan and a precursor to serotonin. Whereas 5-HTP itself is not found in the food that we eat, tryptophan is an amino acid which is found in certain food like poultry, milk and pumpkin.

Once tryptophan has been converted into 5 HTP, it is changed once again into serotonin. It is serotonin- a neurotransmitter responsible for mood which gives 5 HTP its medicinal benefits. Widely prescribed antidepressants like Prozac and Zoloft work in a similar way by increasing the brain’s serotonin levels.
