Griffonia simplicifolia |
 |
Griffonia simplicifolia is a natural source of 5HTP ( 5-Hydroxytryptophan), an enhancing amino acid that is a highly absorbable type of tryptophan and a direct precursor to serotonin. It has been used, as an adjunct to medical care, for depression and fibromyalgia. In addition, it is commonly used for mild insomnia, migraine headaches and as a weight loss therapy. It has been demonstrated to reduce the pain and anxiety associated with fibromyalgia. In some migraine populations, 5-HTP was found to be as effective in treatment and prevention as beta-blockers or methysergide. These results have not been consistent in all trials. 5-HTP seems to work for mild depression. It is effective in uncomplicated insomnia. At higher doses, 5-HPT has been shown to reduce appetite and promote weight loss. |
