5-HTP - Griffonia simplicifolia Seed Extract Raw Material
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), also known as Oxitriptan, is an amino acid intermediate that occurs naturally in human metabolism between the amino acid tryptophan and the neurotransmitter serotonin. The commercial form is most commonly extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa. 5-HTP has been studied for its role as a serotonin precursor and its relevance to mood, sleep, and appetite-related research. This raw material is intended for manufacturers producing mood support, sleep, and weight management supplements.
