5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a precursor to neurotransmitter serotonin and an intermediate of tryptophan metabolism. 5-HTP is an essential amino acid produced by the brain that regulates serotonin level in the body. Global demand for 5-HTP is primarily driven by the rapidly changing lifestyle of various population groups across the world. Increased stress level due to improper diet and hormone fluctuations have led to higher consumption of anti-depressant medications. Furthermore, being a plant extract, 5-HTP offers several advantages over tryptophan, a synthetically derived anti-depressant available in the market. These factors are expected to remain the major driving force for the 5-HTP market. Complication involved in the supply and price of raw material, i.e. seeds of Griffonia Simplicifolia, is likely to be the key challenge for market participants.
