Griffonia simplicifolia seeds contain 5-HTP.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin.
There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches, and have vague muscle aches and pain.All of these maladies are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels.
The primary therapeutic applications for 5-HTP are low serotonin states.
5-HTP has been intensely researched for the past three decades.
It has been available in several European countries as a medicine since the 1970s.
