5-p oswa "idroksile L-triptofan" (5-Hydroxytryptophan) se yon natirèlman-ki fèt asid amine epi li se précurseur a ak metabolik entèmedyè nan byosentezi a nan nerotransmeteur yo serotonin ak Melatonin soti nan triptofan. se 5-p konvèti nan serotonin nan nerotransmeteur (5-HT), avèk èd nan B6.This vitamin fèt tou de nan tisi nève ak nan fwa a. 5-p kwaze baryè a san-sèvo (pandan y ap 5-HT pa fè sa). Sipleman ak 5-p Se poutèt sa ogmante pwodiksyon de serotonin.

5-HTP or “hydroxy L-tryptophan” (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally-occurring amino acid and is the precursor and metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. 5-HTP is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT), with the help of vitamin B6.This occurs both in nervous tissue and in the liver. 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier (while 5-HT does not). Supplementation with 5-HTP therefore increases production of serotonin.
