5-HTP: Physiological Effects and Extraction of Natural Amino Acid

5-HTP is a natural amino acid that does not participate in protein synthesis but is derived from tryptophan. It is widely found in the seeds of leguminous plants, especially in the seeds of the African plant Griffonia Simplicifolia, where its content can reach over 10% of the dry weight. Through the combination of ethanol and water solvent technology, resin exchange, and membrane separation purification, we can naturally extract 5-HTP from the dried seeds of Griffonia Simplicifolia.

This monoamine neurotransmitter plays a crucial role in physiological processes such as emotion, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and sleep, and has been successfully applied in the treatment of depression, migraine, and insomnia.The functional effects are as follows:

1、Antidepressant: Experiments have shown that the utilization of L-TRP (tryptophan) in patients with severe depression is significantly lower than that in patients with mild depression, indicating that 5-HTP plays an important role in antidepressant treatment.

2、Central analgesia: TRP exerts analgesic effects by increasing the content of 5-HT in the central nervous system, reducing the transmission of peripheral pain sensation information.

3、Cardiovascular effects: Research has shown that TRP has antihypertensive activity.

4、Hypnotic: 5-HTP can be converted into 5-hydroxytryptamine in the body, promoting sleep and mental stability.

5、Anti-stress: Injecting 5-HTP can reduce the mutual attacks among white mice, demonstrating its anti-stress effect.

6、Neuroendocrine effects: 5-HTP directly affects the release of neurohormones and participates in endocrine activities.

7、Appetite suppression: A certain dose of 5-HTP can significantly reduce the appetite of rats.
