5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that your body naturally produces.Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells.
Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, weight gain and other health problems.
5-HTP may increase feelings of fullness, causing you to eat less and lose weight.
5-HTP supplements treat depression by increasing serotonin levels.
5-HTP can boost serotonin levels in your body, which may help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia.
