5-HTP stands for 5-hydroxytryptophan, a chemical intermediate involved in the synthesis of serotonin, also known as the happiness hormone (5-HT), a neurotransmitter involved in different behavioural and neuropsychological processes.

Tryptophan and/or 5-HTP are amino acids involved in the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. We can introduce them into our diets by eating foods containing tryptophan, like eggs, meat, dairy products and legumes, as well as whole grains, seeds and fruits. One of the foods that contains the highest quantities of 5-HTP is griffonia seed.
