Griffonia Seed Extract

Griffonia seed extract (5HTP), a natural amino acid extracted from the seeds of Ghana in Africa, is a precursor of a hormone called serotonin 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)) that helps the body form and balance this hormone.5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the main active component of the Griffonia simplicifolia seed, is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin.
