5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid and a chemical precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation, sleep, and appetite. It is derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia and is often used as a dietary supplement for its potential benefits in improving mood and alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. The substance is characterized by its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it is converted into serotonin. 5-HTP is typically available in capsule or tablet form and is known for its relatively low toxicity. However, it can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, drowsiness, and, in rare cases, serotonin syndrome when taken in excessive amounts or combined with other serotonergic medications. As with any supplement, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those taking other medications.
