Using 5-HTP for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in particular definitely appears to have some merit. This is one of the lesser known uses for serotonin precursor; it is generally used for mood enhancement, sleep difficulties, and pain perception. The gut is filled with receptors that use serotonin (5-HT) in order to regulate the muscular movements of the bowel. It appears that in some people that suffer from IBS, supplementing with 5-HTP can offer at least partial relief of symptoms. I have not seen any evidence regarding digestion that is not related to IBS or another bowel disorder. Following is a link to an article published in last month’s American Journal of Physiology regarding this subject: ajpgi.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/00289.2006v1.pdf
