A tryptophan metabolite that may be produced by GI bacteria or, rarely, it may be a marker for Hartnup's disease. Supplementation with tryptophan or 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5HTP) may elevate levels, but a high value does not indicate the need to reduce or eliminate intake. Urine amino acid testing may confirm Hartnup’s disease.
