5-HTP is an amino acid produced naturally by the body's metabolism that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the production of a vital brain chemical, serotonin. Further supplementation of pre-formed 5-HTP allows for the additional production of serotonin which aids to decrease hunger pangs, as this chemical is responsible for feelings of satiety (feeling full) and happiness. This may explain its beneficial effect with weight management. Additionally, 5-HTP has been shown to reduce carbohydrate intake.
