  • 5-HTP - What is it?

    I'm looking for a good non-prescription appetite suppressant and one of the ingredients I found that is supposed to help with this is 5-HTP. What is this exactly, how does it work and, well, does it work?

    I think it's a kind of stimulant but I'm not entirely sure what else it does. I believe it is associated with mood support but don't quote me

      It stands for 5-Hydroxytryptophan. It's one of the things left over when the body uses L-tryptophan.It works in the brain to boost serotonin levels.

        Oh. Thanks for explaining that. Do either of you know if it helps with weight loss and how?
