The clinical efficacy of 5-HTP is due to its ability to increase production of serotonin in the brain. 5-HTP is well absorbed from an oral dose, with about 70% ending up in the bloodstream. It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and effectively increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.

In the CNS, serotonin levels have been implicated in the regulation of sleep, depression, anxiety, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behaviour and pain sensation.
