5-HTP Griffonia Extract – 100 mg 5-HTP per Daily Dose (1 Capsule) – 90 Capsules – by Unimedica

Natural Source of 5-HTP

In the rainforests of West Africa, where time seems to stand still and life pulses in ancient rhythms, an inconspicuous climbing plant reaches toward the light. Griffonia simplicifolia, the African black bean, carries a hidden treasure in its seeds: 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP for short. Serotonin, the “happiness hormone,” is produced from it in the body. Unimedica’s 5-HTP Griffonia Extract brings this amino acid into everyday life in concentrated form.

Natural, Plant-Based Tryptophan

In our Griffonia extract capsules, the 5-HTP content is standardized to 30%. Each daily dose contains 100 mg of natural 5-hydroxytryptophan. It is obtained from the seed extract of the Griffonia plant. This climbing plant provides a stable and reliable level of 5-HTP. 5-HTP is an amino acid that the body can produce itself, but only from L-tryptophan obtained through food. This is then converted into 5-HTP. With our Griffonia extract, this step is eliminated and 5-HTP is made directly available to the body. The purely plant-based capsule shell protects the valuable extract and allows for easy intake.

What 5-HTP Does

In the body, 5-HTP serves as the direct precursor of serotonin — the neurotransmitter responsible for numerous functions, including mood, sleep, and appetite. Before serotonin can actually be produced from food, several biochemical steps are required. These processes do not work equally efficiently in everyone. Stress, lack of sleep, or certain dietary habits can interfere with them. The direct route via 5-HTP bypasses the first conversion stage and immediately provides the body with what it needs for serotonin production. Griffonia extract is suitable for adults who wish to supplement their micronutrient intake in a mindful way. The capsules are easy to dose and suitable for a vegan lifestyle.

How Tryptophan Gets onto the Plate

Tryptophan is found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, legumes, and nuts. However, it takes time before body and mind can benefit from it, because the body must first convert it into a usable form.

Strength from the African Rainforest

Griffonia simplicifolia belongs to the legume family and grows mainly in the humid forests of Ghana, Togo, and Ivory Coast. There, its seeds are traditionally valued as a natural source of 5-HTP. In ethnobotanical practice, the leaves and roots are used externally and for preparing simple remedies. Griffonia is especially well known for its nutrient-rich seeds. Among natural plant-based sources of this amino acid, they contain the highest concentration.

Each jar of Unimedica 5-HTP Griffonia Extract contains 90 capsules, corresponding to a 3-month supply.
