5-HTP, the full name of which is 5-hydroxytryptophan (also known as L-5-hydroxytryptophan), is a natural amino acid containing tryptophan. 5-HTP is a natural amino acid in the human body and is also a chemical precursor of serotonin.

Usually, manufacturers use Ghana seeds to produce 5-HTP nutritional supplements. Ghana seeds are rich in 5-hydroxytryptophan and are currently the main natural source of 5-HTP.
