5-htp Griffonia Seed Extract

Description

What is 5 Hydroxytryptophan 5 Htp?

After industrial extraction methods have been applied to the seeds a 95–98% 5-htp griffonia seed extract is obtained. (brain feed’s Griffonia seed extract of 102.5mg, standardised to 98% to provide 100mg 5-htp is the highest extract quality available.) Typically, most 5 htp griffonia seed extract contain 25–100 mg of pure 5 htp or griffonia simplicifolia extract.

In this form the Griffonia seed extract is compressed into a tablet or mixed into a capsule as used as a dietary supplement for aiding depression treatment, appetite reduction and sleep induction. Studies in healthy volunteers found that oral administration of 5-htp griffonia seed extract reduced the incidence of induced panic and associated symptoms when compared with placebo.

5 Hydroxytryptophan 5 Htp Benefits:

5-HTP is the best studied of the “precursor strategies.” That’s a strategy where you try to increase production of a neurotransmitter by adding more of the raw materials. 5-htp griffonia seed extract is similar to tryptophan (the amino acid that gets converted into serotonin)—5-HTP is the intermediate step in that process. Both are effective ways to boost serotonin levels, but tryptophan is more sedating so I usually reserve that for sleep problems. 5-HTP can also help sleep, but may be used during the daytime as well because it is not usually sedating. Considerable research has shown that 5 htp griffonia seed extract can reduce anxiety, both general and panic, as well as improve mood.12

It’s often more economical, and generally more effective, to get a product that combines several of these ingredients into a single capsule or powder. We often recommend a combination product like Relaxed Mood rather than piecing things together one nutrient at a time.

Relaxed Mood

Relaxed Mood contains 50 mg of pure 5 htp or griffonia simplicifolia extract per capsule. It also provides virtually everything your brain needs to make serotonin. It helps calm an anxious mood, may improve sleep, and can reduce nervousness.
