5-hydroxytryptophan (5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-HTP) is an amino acid substance. It can be used as the precursor substance of serotonin (serotonin, 5-HT) in the human body (and then as the precursor substance of melatonin). Some double-blind studies have shown that 5-HTP can increase the concentration of serotonin in the brain, improve depression and promote the formation of melatonin, improve sleep quality, and suppress appetite, but these studies still have problems. Therefore, more research is still needed to confirm whether 5-HTP has these physiological effects. Ghana seeds are rich in 5-hydroxytryptophan, which is currently the main natural source for the manufacture of 5-HTP.
5-HTP is classified as a pharmaceutical ingredient in some countries. In the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, 5-HTP is sold as a dietary supplement (health product)
