5-HTP

A Natural Antidepressant

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a chemical manufactured by the body from tryptophan, an amino acid found in chicken, turkey, pumpkins, sunflower seeds, turnips, collard greens, milk, and potatoes.

Although 5-HTP ultimately derives from the ingestion of foods rich in tryptophan, it is difficult to attain therapeutic levels of the chemical from food sources alone. To reap the considerable psychological and pain-related benefits of 5-HTP, it is best to take it as a supplement.
