What's 5-Hydroxytryptophan?

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), extracted from the seeds of the African mesquite plant Griffonia simplicifolia, is an amino acid substance. It is safer to use than synthetic 5-hydroxytryptophan. People with low levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) are more prone to depression, impulsivity and even aggressive behavior. 5-hydroxytryptophan can be converted into 5-HT through decarboxylation in the body, which can help improve the level of 5-HT in the human body. It is an important neurodrug.
