5-HTP - What is it?
5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the West African plant Griffonia Simplicifolia and is a building block for the neurotransmitter Serotonin. When taken orally, 5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to Serotonin as needed. Serotonin plays an important role in sleep, appetite, memory, learning, temperature regulation, mood, PMS, sexual behavior, cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, and endocrine regulation. When levels of Serotonin are too low, problems associated have been impulsive behavior, aggression, overeating, depression, and suicide. 

As the immediate precursors to Serotonin, the amino acids Tryptophan and 5-HTP can play an important part in producing more Serotonin in the body. Unfortunately, since 1988, the FDA has prohibited the manufacture and sale of Tryptophan. This was due to a single contaminated batch of the amino acid produced by a Japanese company during the late 1980’s. Although serious side effects were associated with this batch, no adverse effects have ever been linked to any other batches of Tryptophan. The FDA has still maintained its prohibition on Tryptophan, even though the evidence has been overwhelming that this prohibition is unnecessary, and it may be forcing people to take dangerous and expensive drugs to achieve the benefits they could achieve safely and inexpensively with Tryptophan.

Fortunately, 5-HTP may even be better than Tryptophan for treating Serotonin deficiency disorders, and the FDA’s prohibition does not apply to it.
