Made from the Griffonia simplicifolia Plant

Serotinin, the "happiness hormone" cannot be absorbed through our food - it must be constantly produced in our brains. Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is made from the indispensable amino acid l-tryptophan in our bodies. 5-HTP is an intermediate of the body's synthesis of serotonin. Griffonia is naturally rich in 5-HTP. Serotonin is a messenger that is involved in the regulation of well-being and mood.
