5-HTP is a neurotransmitter that helps control mood, sleeping patterns and appetite
5-HTP is not usually sourced from the diet, but is made by the body from the amino acid tryptophan
Occasional stress can reduce tryptophan conversion into serotonin in the body, while 5-HTP can bypass several of these factors
