What is 5‑HTP and how does it work?
5‑HTP (5‑hydroxytryptophan) is the direct precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in mood, stress response, appetite and sleep. Serotonin can then be converted into melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate the sleep‑wake cycle.* Scientific reviews describe how 5‑HTP sits between the amino acid tryptophan and serotonin in this pathway and how it can be used in dietary supplements to influence serotonin production in the body.* For more background, you can read open‑access scientific discussions of 5‑HTP metabolism and its role in serotonin and melatonin production here: 5‑HTP biochemical overview (Maffei et al., 2020) and review of 5‑HTP as a serotonin precursor (Birdsall, 1998).
Supports healthy mood and emotional balance*
Because 5‑HTP is a direct serotonin precursor, clinical research has explored its role in supporting mood and emotional well‑being.* Some studies and reviews suggest that 5‑HTP can increase serotonin levels and has been studied as a nutritional approach for mood support, although more large, modern trials are still needed and results can vary by individual.* Our formula gives you a clean, Oregon made way to add targeted 5‑HTP support to your daily routine while staying aligned with your goals for natural ingredients and proactive wellness. For an overview of the research landscape, see this clinical review on 5‑HTP and serotonin and this systematic review of tryptophan and 5‑HTP for mood (Shaw et al.).
Supports restful sleep and a healthy sleep cycle*
Serotonin is also a building block for melatonin, which is directly involved in the timing and quality of sleep.* By supporting serotonin production, 5‑HTP can help promote relaxation and a more settled sleep‑wake rhythm when combined with healthy sleep habits.* Recent human studies have investigated 5‑HTP supplementation in older adults and people with sleep issues and reported improvements in sleep quality and stability, along with changes in gut microbiota that may also influence sleep.* You can read examples of this emerging research here: 5‑HTP and sleep quality in older adults and 5‑HTP and sleep stability in Parkinson’s related sleep disturbance. Our 5‑HTP formula pairs this science‑informed approach with B6, Niacin and Enhance™ for a practical, daily sleep and relaxation support supplement.*
