      5-HTP, short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, is an amino acid naturally produced in the body from Tryptophan and is a chemical precursor to the neurotransmitter Serotonin, more commonly known as the 'happy hormone'. Eating more foods with tryptophan does not increase the amount of 5-HTP in the body. However, 5-HTP produced commercially from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, an African shrub, can be taken as a supplement. It can be used to help treat conditions affected by serotonin, such as depression, insomnia, obesity and other conditions. VEGAN
