Global 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) Market Size By Application (Food & Beverages, Dietary Supplements, Medical), By Competitive Landscape, By Geographic Scope And Forecast

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) Market Size And Forecast

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) Market size was valued at USD 64.23 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 111.1 Million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.82% during the forecasted period 2024 to 2031.

The major factors driving industry growth in the forecast period are owing to the rise in stress levels in humans as a result of hormonal changes and poor diet, resulting in a decrease in serotonin levels. Over the few years, rising anti-depressant demand due to rising anxiety-caused loss of appetite, and pain feeling is expected to boost the 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) Market need. Over the projected period, the adoption of environmentally friendly 5-HTP as a substitute for chemically generated tryptophan is likely to drive market expansion. Furthermore, R&D in genetic components is likely to support market expansion.

Global 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) Market Definition

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), also known as oxitriptan, is a tryptophan intermediate product and a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps the central nervous system and brain control serotonin levels. Low levels of 5-HTP can be found in foods like cheese and turkey. 5-HTP is a dietary supplement that is commonly used as an antidepressant, hunger suppressant, and sleep aid in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. People who are coming down from MDMA may take 5-HTP to help with post-MDMA dysphoria.

Because 5-HTP is a necessary precursor for the brain to generate more serotonin, and MDMA usage depletes a person’s natural serotonin levels, it is thought that taking 5-HTP after MDMA use will increase serotonin production. As there are a few drawbacks as well owing to systemic 5-HTP exposure levels will fluctuate significantly even with relatively regular doses, 5-HTP’s short half-life may restrict its therapeutic usefulness. Increased adverse event burden from Cmax drug spikes and decreased clinical efficacy from sub-therapeutic exposure for long periods of time are common outcomes of such exposure oscillations.
