Serotonin levels have been shown to be decreased in individuals who suffer from depression. In addition to increasing serotonin level, 5-HTP can also increased catecholamines such as dopamine and norephinephrine, thereby having a significant impact on brain chemistry. For this reason, 5-HTP is not suitable for use with mood modifying medication, unless professionally directed.
5-HTP has also an effect on the satiety center, preventing some individuals from over eating, resulting in weight loss.
People suffering from insomnia may increase their REM sleep by increasing their 5-HTP level.
