5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. A mood-enhancing chemical, 5-htp has attracted a good deal of attention lately because of its ability to increase pain tolerance, induce sleep, and affect how hunger is perceived. 5-HTP dietary supplements help raise serotonin levels in the brain. Since serotonin helps regulate mood and behavior, 5-HTP may have a positive effect on sleep, mood, anxiety, appetite, and pain sensation.In 1994, 5-htp was introduced in the USA. Europeans have been taking 5-htp for decades to treat insomnia and depression
