The seeds of this plant contain significant amounts of 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), a direct precursor of serotonin. Serotonin is one of the main neurotransmitters in the nervous system and is involved in regulating mood, hunger, sleep (serotonin is in fact the precursor to melatonin) and other important functions.
The body synthesises serotonin from tryptophan, an essential amino acid (i.e. an amino acid which the body cannot produce itself and which must be taken in through food). 5-HTP is an intermediate metabolite of this synthesis, which is formed once the tryptophan has penetrated the nerve cell.
By taking griffonia it is therefore possible to bring in the 5-HTP precursor from outside and increase serotonin levels in the body.
The result of taking 5-HTP is a rapid effect (documented by various international studies and the enthusiasm of many consumers) of balancing mild and moderate depression, facilitating sleep and curbing anxiety and nervous hunger (in particular, cravings for carbohydrates). (5-hydroxytryptophan)
