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 an essential role in regulating mood, anxiety, appetite and sleep.
