• 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that is the active intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-Tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin.
• In the central nervous system, serotoninsupports sleep, mood, appetite, temperaturebalance, sexual behaviour and pain sensation.
• Other cells outside the brain such as blood platelets make and use serotonin as well.
