Therefore, a deficiency in tryptophan can lead to nervous system imbalances and mood disorders. It has also been observed that 5-htp is able to increase levels of melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and beta-endorphins. It is obtained from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant that grows in the savannah and plains of the west coast of Africa.
