What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP or "hydroxy L-tryptophane" (5-Hydroxytryphophan) is a naturally-occurring amino acid and is the precursor and metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. 5-HTP is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT), with the help of vitamin B6. This occurs both in nervous tissue and in the liver. 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier (while 5-HT does not). Supplementation with 5-HTP therefore increases production of Serotonin.
Most 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa, called the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.
5-HTP for Depression and Insomnia
5 HTP is a term that is used to denote 5-Hydroxytryptophan. This is an amino acid that occurs naturally and a very important constituent of Serotonin. Serotonin is a very important element in the transmission of information by the brain.
If the transportation of L-tryptophan into the brain has been ineffective, then this is a factor that can cause depression.
Insufficient levels of serotonin and 5 HTP in the cerebrospinal fluid can also be a factor that leads to depression. This will also be the case if the individual also experiences low levels of tryptophan.
If the receptors responsible for the activity of serotonin has been increased in number, or have increased their sensitivity, can also be a factor leading to depression. This will also be the case if some of the receptors have been decreased in number or their sensitivity decreased by any reason.
5 HTP treatments work through increasing the amount of serotonin. The level of serotonin that is produced in the brain is increased through a simple process. Once you have increased the amount of 5 HTP that gets through to the brain cells, then this will increase the production of serotonin. These direct treatments through the application of 5 HTP supplements ensure that there is increased concentration of serotonin in the blood plasma as well as in the cerebrospinal fluid.
