Product Description

By Ron Hunninghake, M.D.

5-HTP stands for 5-hydroxy-tryptophan. Tryptophan is an amino acid precursor to serotonin. Banned from over-the-counter sales a decade ago due to a toxic contaminant, tryptophan is available only through prescription from compounding pharmacies. 5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite between tryptophan and serotonin. Derived from an herbal source, it is available without prescription. Well designed studies show 5-HTP is effective therapy for sleep disorders, chronic resistant depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and obesity.
