About 5-HTP
Griffonia seed is a raw material be found principally in the west African countries, mainly in Ghana, Ivory coast and Togo, currently valued for its health and medical potential because of 5-HTP, an amino acid found in the human body. This amino acid is produced when the body metabolizes tryptophan, which is famous for antidepressant and inducing sleep.
5-HTP is a naturally-occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan.
5-HTP is sold in many developed countries as a dietary supplement for use as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and induce sleep, and is also marketed in many European countries for the indication of major depression.
