Griffonia Seed Extract is derived from the dried seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a leguminous shrub native to West Africa. Its core active ingredient is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a natural amino acid that serves as a direct precursor for the body’s synthesis of serotonin, known as the "happy neurotransmitter". It can efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier, supply the brain with raw materials for serotonin production, and gently regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and overall neurological health.
