Product Description
This product is L-5-hydroxytryptophan (also known as 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan, English name 5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan, abbreviated as 5-HTP, CAS corresponding to monohydrate form) with CAS No. 314062-44-7. It is a natural amino acid active ingredient extracted and refined from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia of the legume family (it can also be synthesized). Its chemical name is (S)-2-amino-3-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid hydrate. The molecular formula of the product is C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₃ (monohydrate C₁₁H₁₄N₂O₄), and the molecular weight is approximately 220.22 (approximately 238.24 for the monohydrate). It normally appears as white to off-white powder with a purity of over 98% (tested by HPLC). As a mature commercial bulk raw material, this product can be supplied in different grades such as food grade and pharmaceutical grade according to application purposes. It is widely used in dietary supplements, health food and pharmaceutical research and development, and is one of the functional raw materials with large circulation volume in the global market. The product should be sealed, protected from light and stored in a cool and dry place to ensure stable quality within the shelf life.

Product Functions
5-hydroxytryptophan is the direct precursor of serotonin, an important signaling substance in the human body. Serotonin is closely associated with mood regulation, sleep rhythm and appetite control. Supplemented 5-HTP can be converted into serotonin in the human body, which helps stabilize mood, improve sleep quality, relieve tension and anxiety, and shows certain value in appetite and weight management. For this reason, 5-HTP is a popular functional ingredient in mood and sleep-related health products, as well as a commonly used substance in relevant scientific research.

The specific functions can be summarized as follows:
Supports mood stabilization: As a serotonin precursor, it helps regulate mood and relieve tension and anxiety;
Improves sleep: Helps adjust sleep rhythm, ease difficulty falling asleep and enhance sleep quality;
Relieves stress: Assists physical and mental relaxation and reduces discomfort caused by mental stress;
Research on appetite and weight management: Has research value for mechanisms related to appetite control and weight management;
Research on neurotransmitter regulation: Serves as an important tool substance for basic research on serotonin pathways;
Good formulation compatibility: Can be flexibly applied in various dosage forms such as capsules, tablets and powders.
