Griffonia simplicifolia

Griffonia simplicifolia is a plant native to West Africa, especially Ghana. Its seeds are valued because they contain high levels of 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan), a natural compound that the body uses to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that influences mood, sleep, and appetite. Supplements made from Griffonia seeds are often used to support mental well-being, improve sleep, and manage appetite or weight. While generally considered safe when used appropriately, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before using Griffonia for health purposes, especially if you are taking other medications or have underlying health conditions.
