5-HTP 100 mg 90 vcaps by Allergy Research Group is a precursor of tryptophan that converts into serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger that sends messages between cells in the body to elicit a response. In the brain, 5-HTP gets converted into serotonin and is more effective alone as it does not get regulated the same way as tryptophan.
Those dealing with high levels of inflammation or depression often have lower levels of serotonin. These decreased levels can cause an actual imbalance that contributes to symptoms of depression, such as feelings of sadness. 5-HTP is an amino acid created from L-Tryptophan, which is essential in building proteins in humans. Tryptophan does not occur naturally in the body, though, and therefore must be obtained through diet. Tryptophan helps the body create both melatonin and serotonin, which regulate essential functions in the body.
