Description:
Griffonia simplicifolia is a plant growing in western African
countries such as Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. In the traditional
therapeutic application of those countries, the leaf and juice of
the plant can be used for the treatment of wounds and nephropathy,
and also as enema and aphrodisiac, while the comminuted bark can be
made into ointment for the treatment of diseases like chancroid
etc.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the main active component of the
Griffonia simplicifolia seed ,is an amino acid that is the
intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain
chemical serotonin. The natural ingredient can be used in
anti-hypochondria, weight loss, relieving PMS, curing hemicrania
and abstaining from addiction.
Function:Supplemental 5-HTP boosts levels of serotonin, a body
chemical that regulates mood, sleep, and other brain-related
functions. Stress, poor eating habits, inactivity, and alcohol can
all diminish your body’s serotonin supply, and this can lead to
depression, migraines, insomnia, obesity, chronic fatigue, or
fibromyalgia.
1. Clinical trials show that 5 HTP is a safe, natural way to boost
the brain serotonin levels. Use of 5 HTP has been shown to produce
results equal to or better than those of standard synthetic drugs
used in the problems arising form serotonin deficiency syndrome.
2. 5 HTP provides the quickest, most effective and most consistent
overall results in treating insomnia. It is an effective
alternative for dealing with sleep problems in safe and natural way
compared to sleep medicines. 5 HTP improves the quality of sleep.
More importantly, clinical studies show that 5 HTP is also useful
in the treatment of sleep disorders other than insomnia.
3. 5 HTP increases REM sleep significantly (typically by about 25
percent) while simultaneously increasing deep sleep stages 3 and 4
without increasing total sleep time. 5 HTP accomplishes this by
shortening the amount of time you spend in sleep stages 1 and 2,
which in certain ways are the least important stages of the cycle.
The higher the dose, the more time spent in REM.
4. By shifting the balance of the sleep cycle, 5 HTP makes sleep
more restful and rejuvenating. Instead of waking feeling tried,
worn out and “hungover”, people taking 5 HTP feel vibrant, well
rested and ready to take on the challenges of the day. When we
sleep more deeply and dream more efficiently, we wake in the
morning with our physical and psychological batteries fully
charged.
5. The impact of 5 HTP on sleep stages is dose-related, taking
higher doses produces a somewhat greater impact. In most cases, the
lower dosage is adequate. Higher doses may lead to a greater number
of disturbing dreams and nightmares due to abnormally prolonged REM
sleep. It can also lead to mild nausea.
