Over the past 40 years or so a number of clinical trials have indicated that 5-HTP may be useful for a broad range of health problems. Ironically, however, 5-HTP does not perform any specific function within the body. 5-HTP actually acts within the body as a raw material, used by some cells within the body to make the important neurotransmitter Serotonin. Therefore when looking at the benefits of 5-HTP we are in essence looking at the benefits of Serotonin. 5-HTP is commercially produced from the seeds of a West African medicinal plant called Griffonia simplicifolia.

The properties of 5-HTP are centred around the fact that it is a direct precursor of serotonin. Serotonin is one of around twelve neurotransmitters and is also used by some cells outside the brain. The vast majority of the body’s Serotonin-using neurons are found within the intestinal tract, where Serotonin is used to help regulate peristalsis (waves of contraction that moves food along the digestive tract) and digestion.
Contra-indications / Precautions
5-HTP should not be taken with anti-depressants, migraine medication, Parkinson's Disease drugs, weight control drugs, other serotonin-modifying agents or substances known to cause liver damage. Should be avoided by those with Ischemic Heart disease. Should not be used during pregnancy or whilst breast feeding. Can cause drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery if affected.
