The basics
5-HTP, derived from the Griffonia extract, is a precursor to serotonin, often termed the "happy neurotransmitter." This potent compound boasts a range of benefits from enhancing mood to curbing appetite and managing conditions like fibromyalgia.
The need to know
What are the benefits?
Happy hormone boost
- Improves mood; depression and anxiety
- Can be used to treat fibromyalgia
- Weight loss, helps with the feeling of fullness
The Science
5-HTP functions as the direct precursor to serotonin, effectively elevating its production in the brain. Higher serotonin levels translate to enhanced mood, reduced depression, and improved feelings of well-being. Additionally, serotonin plays a key role in modulating appetite by interacting with melanocortin receptors, resulting in increased feelings of fullness. This dual role of serotonin—boosting mood and controlling appetite—underscores the multifaceted benefits of 5-HTP supplementation.
How will I know its working?
Elevated mood and reduced episodes of depression or anxiety.
Alleviation of fibromyalgia symptoms.
Enhanced satiety after meals, leading to reduced food intake.
When to take it?
Take 1 capsule daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
Care should be taken if taking anti-depressants as this can cause a significant increase in serotonin levels. Always consult with your Doctor if you are taking these medications. 5 HTP supplements can be used to ease the side effects when taking such medication but should be done under professional guidance.

While it promotes feelings of fullness, it’s vital not to combine it with anti-depressants to avoid excessive serotonin levels.
It’s been a topic of research not just for mood disorders but also for conditions like migraine due to their serotonin-boosting properties.
