Pure® Encapsulations Griffonia 120 vegetable capsules uses this valued plant for its formulation to provide, per daily dose, 100 mg of 5-HTP from a high-quality natural source.
Griffonia simplicifolia is a leguminous plant native to the tropical forests of Africa, highly valued for its seeds, which are one of the richest natural sources of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). 5-HTP is an amino acid that the human body naturally produces from tryptophan as a precursor to serotonin synthesis in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of multiple physiological processes such as appetite, sleep, and mood, and has been popularly dubbed "the happiness or well-being hormone."
