5-HTP is a metabolite of tryptophan, a precursor of human serotonin, which is used to synthesize compound amines (a substance that plays an important role in common nerve and brain function). It is helpful for normal nerve substance and brain function and can treat depression. It can help the body balance this hormone to control the body’s mood, improve the quality of sleep, and effectively suppress pain, so 5-hydroxytryptophan has also been used to treat insomnia.
