Benefits
Metabolism and Absorption of 5-HTP
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is formed by the addition of a hydroxyl group (-OH)
to the 5 carbon of the indole ring of tryptophan. Conversion of tryptophan to
5-hydroxytryptophan is catalyzed by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase.1 5-HTP
functions as the precursor for serotonin, and is converted to serotonin in a
pyridoxal phosphate (vitamin B6) dependent reaction catalyzed by the enzyme
L-amino acid decarboxylase.2
