How 5-HTP Works

5-HTP is from the Douglas Labs Amino Acid product line.

Serotonin is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier and is therefore synthesized in the brain. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin. Tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which in turn is converted into serotonin. 5-HTP offers a number of advantages over tryptophan.

5-HTP is derived naturally from the seeds of the Griffonia plant, unlike tryptophan which is produced synthetically or through bacterial fermentation. 5- HTP crosses into the brain more readily than tryptophan as it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier without competition for uptake.
