Quick Overview

5-Hydroxytryptophan is necessary for the production of serotonin, a ‘feel-good’ hormone produced in the brain.

It enhances serotonin levels which help the body's control of sleep, mood regulation, and appetite.


5-hydroxytryptophan is from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It can be used in the treatment of anxiety, mild to moderate depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, binge-eating associated with obesity, attention deficit disorder, and chronic headaches.

5-hydroxytryptophan has also been used for the treatment of post-anoxic myoclonus, also known as Lance-Adam's syndrome, a rare complication of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
