Overview
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the synthesis of serotonin from tryptophan. Each capsule provides 100 mg of 5-HTP derived from Griffonia simplicifolia.
 
Evidence Note
A 12-week randomized trial in older adults found that 100 mg/day of 5-HTP produced favorable changes in selected sleep-quality measures, with the clearest benefit among participants who were poor sleepers at baseline. 5-HTP also increased circulating serotonin in that study, consistent with its role as a serotonin precursor.

 
Key Benefits

Supports normal serotonin production.
May support sleep quality, particularly in people with poor sleep at baseline.
Provides the same 100 mg daily dose used in a recent human sleep trial when taken once daily.
