Application and Effect
L-5-Hydroxytryptophan is sensitive to air. Hydroxylation of L-tryptophan occurs in the brain during serotonin synthesis. This is a step that controls the production of serotonin and also yields 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-HTP) as a metabolite. Thus, consumption 5-HTP, increases the serotonin level, which might result in depression, lack of sleep and severe headache.5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan is a hydroxylated metabolite of L-Tryptophan.5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan is an intermediate metabolite used to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a very important substance which helps promote normal brain and nerve function. Serotonin is the main neurotransmitter that supports mood, sleep functions and appetite.5-HTP 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), also known as oxitriptan (INN), is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as ametabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan.Product Sample
