5-Hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP is a catalyst for tryptophan and seratonin, which is known to elevate mood. 5-HTP is obtained from an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is not found in the foods we eat but seratonin is and is known for aiding in sleep, mood, appetite and pain. Studies have indicated that 5-HTP can be beneficial to those who are affected by fibromyalgia as fibromyalgia can lower seratonin levels. Care should be taken when using 5-HTP taking it only according to package instructions as ingesting high doses can be toxic. This information was taken from our research library at Wild West Dicsount Vitamins.
