traits | 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan is white to light yellow powder to crystalline. |
use | 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin. serotonin mainly affects mood and promotes happiness. it also affects appetite, sleep cycle and pain perception. It has the ability to suppress appetite, reduce fat intake, reduce anxiety, control emotions, promote sleep, and promote emotional and nervous system health. L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase substrate. |
biological activity | L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) is a natural amino acid and dietary supplement, which can be used as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant and sleep aid. It is the precursor of neurotransmitter serotonin and an antagonist of reserpine (reserpine). L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) can be used to study fibromyalgia, myoclonus, migraine and cerebellar ataxia. |
