  Description:

  5-HTP is sold over-the-counter in the United States, the United Kingdom, 

  and Canada as a dietary supplement for use as an antidepressant, appetite

  suppressant, and sleep aid. 5HTP in supplement form is typically sold in 

  50 mg or 100 mg gelatin or vegetarian capsules. 

  It is usually sourced from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia.5HTP has 

  been studied and shown to be of benefit in the following conditions: primary 

  fibromyalgia syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, depression, anxiety, binge eating 

  associated with obesity, and insomnia. There is no statistically significant 

  difference between 5HTP and placebo in treating chronic headaches (primary

  or otherwise).A 2001 meta analysis found that of 108 studies on 5HTP 

  published between 1966 and 2000, only two met the authors' quality standards 

  for inclusion. The two studies that were deemed of sufficient quality did not 

  deal with 5HTP exclusively, instead combining results for 5HTP and 

  tryptophan, so the results may not be completely applicable for 5HTP alone. 

  While the combined analysis of the two 5HTP and tryptophan studies showed 

  significant effectiveness over placebo in treating depression, the authors state 

  that overall "the evidence was of insufficient quality to be conclusive". They 

  also state that "because alternative antidepressants exist which have been proven

   to be effective and safe, the clinical usefulness of 5HTP and tryptophan is limited 

  at present.
