What is 5-HTP?
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is produced from the amino acid tryptophan and is a precursor for the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin is one of the main neurotransmitters in the brain. The neurotransmitter melatonin regulates, among other things, the sleep-wake cycle, hormone release, and body temperature.

Why 5-HTP is preferred over L-tryptophan
Dietary supplements with 5-HTP have been used for a long time and have proven to be reliable and effective during that period. 5-HTP is well absorbed by the body, even when taken with a meal, and can easily cross the blood-brain barrier. Unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP does not need to compete with other amino acids for absorption, as it does not require a shared transport molecule. Furthermore, 5-HTP does not need to be converted in the body before it becomes active. This is the case with L-tryptophan, and moreover, the majority of L-tryptophan is used for the production of proteins and other substances, leaving little for the production of serotonin and melatonin. Due to these advantages, 5-HTP is generally more effective, and lower dosages are needed to achieve results.
How much 5-HTP can you take per day?
The daily amount can vary depending on factors such as gender, age, and weight. The standard dosage is between 50 and 300 milligrams per day. Mattisson's 5-HTP comes in capsule form.
