5-HTP
(5-hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to
serotonin. And serotonin can
further convert to melatonin. A simple diagram that
shows the synthesis of serotonin:

Phenylalanine and tyrosine are precursors to the
body's three "fight or flight" hormones,
dopamine, epinephrine
(adrenaline) and norepinephrine. A simple diagram
that shows the synthesis of dopamine:
Phenylalanine---converts to--->Tyrosine---converts
to--->DOPA---converts to--->Dopamine

Phenylalanine and
tyrosine are precursors to
norepinephrine and epinephrine. A simple diagram
that shows the synthesis of
norepinephrine and epinephrine:
Phenylalanine---converts to--->Tyrosine---converts
