Mechanism of Action
5-HTP acts as the direct biochemical precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, appetite, and sleep regulation. Once converted to serotonin, it can also be transformed into melatonin, the hormone responsible for maintaining healthy sleep cycles. By supporting this pathway, 5-HTP helps balance mood and emotional responses, while also assisting in healthy sleep patterns and stress recovery.
