What is 5-HTP?

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring amino-acid that is made from Griffonia Simplicifolia and is the key intermediate step in the formation of both serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan (one of the 22 major amino acids). 5-HTP is sold over the counter and online to support a healthy, positive mood in many developed countries, and has been studied for the potential to support healthy stress levels 5 HTP is also considered one of the most potent natural appetite suppressors available. Because 5HTP is involved in the biosynthesis of both serotonin and melatonin, its effects include mood-lift and promotion of healthy sleep patterns. Serotonin is responsible for the mood-lift and appetite suppression, while melatonin functions naturally to promote healthy sleep. The great thing about HTP 5 is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which makes it more effective than taking pure serotonin.[1]

I just got taken off my prescription !!! The ones I got are called complan n they did help a bit cause if I cudn't eat I cud have a milkshake. I've to go back n see a dietician who told me not to take them" just to get up in morn n have toast n tea" if I cud do that I wud'nt be sitting here I told her. It's not as simple as that. My Medical Surgery has amalgamated n is vry large n not so personal now. They seem have lost my records as I've had few calls asking me why I was on diazepam then another about my complan n why I was put on it. So Dietician here I come again wen I've to go I have no idea n it's too expensive to buy Thanx for replying
