5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring, non-proteinogenic amino acid that appears as an intermediate in L-tryptophan metabolism. In the body it is formed from tryptophan and is then further converted to 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) as part of a well-described biochemical pathway. In supplements, 5-HTP is commonly used either as an isolated ingredient or as a standardised constituent from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds, where extracts may be assayed to different 5-HTP percentages (e.g., 20–98%). The raw material is typically supplied as an off-white to light powder and then formulated into capsules, tablets, or measured powders. On labels it may appear as “5-HTP” or as “Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract” with the declared amount of 5-HTP per serving. In cosmetics, 5-HTP use is less common and is generally limited to specialised formulations where a precisely identified chemical substance is required.

L-theanine is a non‑proteinogenic amino acid, chemically described as N(5)-ethyl‑L‑glutamine, occurring naturally mainly in tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) and in some mushrooms. In supplements it is typically used as purified L‑theanine in powder or capsule form, obtained either from tea extraction or via fermentation/biotechnological production. On labels it may also appear simply as “theanine”, with the L‑form being the most commonly used in finished products. As a water‑soluble ingredient, it blends well into drink mixes, stick packs and soluble powders. In cosmetics it is less common but may be included as a conditioning component in water‑based formulas, generally at low concentrations and alongside humectants and other amino acids.
