Product Information
What is Pure Encapsulations Griffonia Extract Capsules?
Griffonia provides natural 5-Hydroxtryptophan (5-HTP). Natural plant-source 5-HTP derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. Features 5-HTP from Griffonia as a highly bioavailable free-form amino acid. 5-HTP is an amino acid that has been subject to clinical research. Each serving of two vegetarian capsules provides 100 mg of 5-HTP.
Benefits of Griffonia Extract?
Griffonia simplicifolia extract, derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia, is primarily known for its high content of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. The potential health benefits of Griffonia extract are closely linked to 5-HTP's effects on brain function and mood regulation. Here are some of the notable benefits associated with Griffonia extract:
-
Mood Enhancement and Depression: Griffonia extract can help increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. It's often used as a natural supplement for mood enhancement and has been studied for its potential as an antidepressant alternative.
-
Sleep Quality Improvement: By increasing serotonin levels, which can then be converted into the hormone melatonin, Griffonia extract may improve sleep quality. Melatonin is crucial for regulating sleep cycles, and increased levels can help with falling asleep faster and experiencing more restful sleep.
What is the difference between griffonia and 5-HTP supplements?
Griffonia simplicifolia extract and 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) supplements are related but distinct products, mainly differing in their composition and specificity. Griffonia extract contains 5-HTP but also includes other compounds found in the seeds. Thus, it's a more complex mixture. 5-HTP supplements often provide 5-HTP in a purified form. They're designed to provide a precise dosage of 5-HTP without the other compounds.
The broader range of compounds in Griffonia simplicifolia extract could offer additional health benefits beyond those of 5-HTP alone, due to the presence of other bioactive substances. However, if the goal is specifically to increase serotonin levels, 5-HTP supplements may provide a more direct and measurable approach.
