5-HTP is the prime active compound of the Griffonia Simplicifolia plant, a plant known for its traditional medicinal benefit in Central and West Africa. The plant thrives in the mountain slopes of the region, known locally as Atooto and Kajya and is used for its therapeutic properties. In the western world, the plant is known as the best source for the 5-HTP compound, with its pods containing seeds that are rich with the compound. The extracts that we source out come from the Griffonia Simplicifolia plant.
5-HTP naturally occurs in the human body and is made only through conversion from the L-Trytophan precursor. In nature, the L-Trytophan can be found in produce such as soy products, oat bran, spirulina and poultry, eggs, red meats, dark chocolate, sunflower or pumpkin seed and cheese.
Our body needs 5-HTP compound as it helps in the production of the neurotransmitters - Serotonin and Melatonin. The neurotransmitters are responsible for helping concentration, regulating sleeping patterns, and helping improve appetite, brain activity and mood.
The 5-HTP should be taken together with a well-balanced and healthy diet.
