Therapeutic administration of 5-HTP has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of conditions, including depression, fibromyalgia, binge eating associated with obesity, chronic headaches, and insomnia.

5-HTP and Depression

Repeated-measures analysis revealed a significant improvement of depressive symptoms during the 50-mg 5-HTP treatment compared with placebo as assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.

5-HTP for Sleep

Treatment with L -5-hydroxytryptophan can modulate children's arousal levels and induce a long-term improvement of sleep terrors.

5-HTP and Anxiety

A significant anxiety reduction was observed on three different anxiety scales. It is suggested that 5-HT systems may be involved in anxiety mediation.

5-HTP and Obesity

Significant weight loss was observed in 5-HTP-treated patients. A reduction in carbohydrate intake and a consistent presence of early satiety were also found. Together with the good tolerance observed, these findings suggest that 5-HTP may be safely used to treat obesity.
