Griffonia Seed extract : 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a chemical that the body makes from tryptophan (an essential amino acid, which you get from food). After tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, the chemical is then changed into another chemical called serotonin (a neurotransmitter, which relays signals between brain cells). 5-HTP dietary supplements help raise serotonin levels in the brain. Since serotonin helps regulate mood and behavior, 5-HTP may have a positive on depression, anxiety, insomnia, weight loss and addiction.

Function
Supplemental 5-HTP boosts levels of serotonin, a body chemical that regulates mood, sleep, and other brain-related functions. Stress, poor eating habits, inactivity, and alcohol can all diminish your body’s serotonin supply, and this can lead to depression, migraines, insomnia, obesity, chronic fatigue, or fibromyalgia.
