5-HTP is short for 5-hydroxytryptophan. It is produced in the body from a small protein-building block called tryptophan. 5-HTP helps the body to make the important “feel good” brain chemical called serotonin and the vital “sleep” hormone, melatonin. Supplementation with 5-HTP can help boost these important brain chemicals which in turn promote a healthy mood, better sleep and a reduction in the sensation of pain.
