- Multiple studies show the potential antidepressive effects of 5-HTP when combined with other substances or antidepressant medications.(1)
- A study in 124 people compared the ability of 5-HTP and methysergide, a common migraine medication, to prevent migraines, and found that supplementing with 5-HTP daily for 6 months prevented or significantly decreased the number of migraine attacks in 71% of participants.(2)
- 5-HTP produces serotonin, which can be converted into the hormone melatonin. Melatonin plays an important role in regulating sleep. A 2010 human study showed that a combination of 5-HTP and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) significantly reduced the time it took to fall asleep, increased sleep duration, and improved sleep quality.(3)
