Q What is Griffonia Seed Extract and what is its main active ingredient?
Griffonia Seed Extract is derived from the dried seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a leguminous shrub native to West Africa. Its primary active ingredient is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a natural amino acid and direct precursor to serotonin, the body's "happy neurotransmitter."
Q What purity level does your 5-HTP product achieve?
Our Griffonia Seed Extract is standardized to 99% 5-HTP content, verified by HPLC testing. The Certificate of Analysis confirms an assay result of 100.13%, fully meeting the 98.5–101.5% specification per USP 43 standards.
Q What are the main health benefits and applications of 5-HTP?
5-HTP offers a range of wellness benefits: it helps ease tension, anxiety, and stress; improves sleep quality; supports microcirculation; assists with mood regulation and reduction of depression symptoms; aids in appetite control for weight management; and provides antidepressant and sedative support for the nervous system.
Q How is the product packaged and what packaging options are available?
For 1kg orders, the product is packed in a bag with a double plastic inner bag and an aluminum foil bag, placed inside an outer box. For orders of 10kg, 25kg, or more, packaging is done by drums or cartons with 2 layers of plastic bags inside to ensure product integrity and safety during transit.
Q What shipping methods are available and how long does delivery take?
We offer flexible shipping options: orders of 1–25kg ship via EMS, DHL, UPS, or FedEx (3–7 days, door-to-door); 25–100kg orders ship via DHL, FedEx, or air freight (3–7 days, door-to-door or to airport); orders over 100kg can be shipped by air (3–7 days, door to airport) or by sea (10–35 days, door to port).
Q Does your 5-HTP product pass heavy metal and microbiological safety tests?
Yes. Our product undergoes rigorous third-party testing. Heavy metals are well within safe limits (e.g., Lead ≤2ppm, Mercury ≤0.1ppm), and all microbiological tests — including E. Coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus — return negative results. The overall conclusion confirms the product fully conforms with specification.
