While 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a well-known precursor for serotonin, its relationship with the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA is more indirect and complex. Research suggests that 5-HTP does not directly increase GABA synthesis, but the serotonin it produces can influence GABAergic activity.
