Griffonia (5-HTP)
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid found in our body to produce serotonin, which is important for positive mood, relaxation and restful sleep.
5-HTP is renowned for its ability to increase serotonin (a neurotransmitter) levels, and promote a sense of well-being and reduce depression. Serotonin can also be converted to melatonin, a hormone that regulates our sleep cycle.
Another notable benefit of 5-HTP is that it can suppress appetite to reduce overeating, particularly caused by stress or bad mood.
