Pharmacological Actions
1. The 5-hydroxy tryptophan is a natural herbal prescription with a calming effect. It is the precursor of a hormone in our body named serotonin. As a result, it can promote the production of serotonin and thus make the body in balance.
2. As the reaction medium of tryptophan and serotonin, it is the important precursor to inhibit the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxy tryptophan.
3. Serotonin exists in brain, blood cell, intestine, stomach and central nervous system. 
4. When our mood fluctuates, the serotonin will be secreted correspondingly. It is the important chemical material in the brain in controlling mood, behavior, appetite, sleep and impulsion. 
5. If the serotonin level is unbalanced in our brain, 5-hydroxy tryptophan is needed to adjust the balance. As a result, too low a content is easier to become depression, anxiety and sleep disorders.
