5-HTP ( L-5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. In the human body, tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, which then can be transformed into serotonin ( a potent neurotransmitter in the brain) . Although 5-HTP is not found at any significant level in a normal diet, tryptophan is found in a wide variety of protein foods. The 5-HTP used in dietary supplements is derived from the seeds of an African plant ( Griffonia simplicifolia) .
