Product Introduction

Product  Details

Utilizing patented cryogenic lyophilization technology, we deliver pharmaceutical-grade 5-HTP that preserves optimal bioactivity and stability. Our powder guarantees a minimum purity of 99.5% (HPLC-verified), with rigorous quality control at every production stage to ensure batch-to-batch consistency in purity, potency, and safety

What is 5-HTP Powder?




5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino acid derived from the dried seeds of the legume plant Griffonia Simplicifolia. People with low levels of serotonin (5-HT) may be at higher risk for depression, impulsive behavior and even aggression. 5-HTP can be converted into 5-HT by decarboxylation in vivo, thereby effectively improving the level of 5-HT in the body. It is a key substance in the field of neuroregulation and is widely used in drug development.

Recent studies have shown that 5-HTP not only shows significant antidepressant effects, but also has multiple physiological benefits such as central analgesia, sleep promotion, stress relief and endocrine regulation.

The Benefits of 5-HTP Powder

5-htp-benefits-diagram

1.Antidepressant Depression

People with low levels of serotonin (5-HT) may be at higher risk for depression, impulsive behavior, and even aggression. 5-HTP can be converted into 5-HT by decarboxylation in the body, thereby effectively increasing the level of 5-HT in the body. 5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan, a precursor of human serotonin, and is used to synthesize serotonin, which is needed by the body (an important substance for ordinary nerve and brain function). It is helpful for normal nerve substances and brain function and can treat depression.        

5HTP supplement for depression        

2.Reduce Stress and Improve Sleep

5-HTP in the body can use vitamin B6 to produce the precursor of neurohormone 5-HT, which can help the body balance this hormone to control human emotions, improve sleep quality, and reduce pain to a certain extent, so 5-HTP is also used to treat insomnia.        

5-HTP can Improve Sleep        

3.Central Analgesic Action

Serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays an integral role in the pain regulation mechanism. As a key neurotransmitter, it is involved in regulating the transmission and processing of pain signals. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), as a precursor of serotonin, can effectively increase serotonin levels by promoting the synthesis and release of serotonin in the body. This effect has a significant effect on relieving chronic pain and reducing pain symptoms such as migraine. Therefore, 5-HTP is regarded as a substance with central analgesic potential to help patients improve their pain conditions and improve their quality of life.        

4.Appetite Suppression

5-HT acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating appetite and feeding behavior. Therefore, 5-HTP May affect the brain's perception of hunger and fullness by increasing 5-HT levels, thus achieving the effect of appetite suppression.        

 5-HTP  Applications 

Apply in Food

5-HTP as a dietary supplement has potential health benefits in improving mood, promoting sleep, suppressing appetite, and relieving pain, among others.

Apply in Medicine

5-HTP powder is mainly used in the production of supplements such as sleep AIDS, antidepressants and appetite suppressants to improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety and depression, and help control weight.
