5-HTP

5-HTP is an amino acid that our body produces from tryptophan, another amino acid found in protein-rich foods (meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, legumes, and nuts). Once absorbed, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted in the brain into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in regulating mood, anxiety, appetite, and sleep.
