5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a natural supplement that is used to increase levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and other functions. 5-HTP is derived from the seeds of an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia, and is often used as an alternative treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. It is also used as a sleep aid and to help suppress appetite.

5-HTP boosts serotonin production, as after a long night serotonin can be depleted, which is part of the reason some users experience a 'comedown' 5-HTP can help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and promote a general feeling of well being.
