Product Introduction

L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural amino acid extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia found principally in the West African countries, such as Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. 5-HTP is used in alleviating the symptoms of some common syndromes such as anxiety and depression. 5-HTP is also known as a natural relaxant, which helps alleviate insomnia by inducing normal sleep, and treating migraine and headaches. In addition, it can be used to control of cravings such as eating disorders. Recently, it is reported that 5-HTP has effects to control the symptom of Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.
