What is Griffonia simplicifolia?
Griffonia simplicifolia is an herb commonly used as a weight loss supplement, sleep aid, and antidepressant. Other uses include management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and pain relief. The beneficial effects are because of the amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is found in the herb's seeds. The compound is extracted from the seeds and taken as a dietary supplement.
The 5-HTP found in Griffonia simplicifolia extract is an important building block of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate appetite and mood. Griffonia extract boosts the production of serotonin and subsequently increases the effect the neurotransmitter has on the body. For this reason, this herb is touted for its versatility.

5-HTP and Weight Loss
New evidence supports the case that 5-HTP can be used as a natural appetite suppressant and natural weight loss supplement. In fact, 5-htp was even featured on the Dr. Oz Show. According to Dr. Oz, 5-HTP helps boost the body’s production of serotonin, an important brain chemical that regulates mood and appetite. Studies have shown that low serotonin levels are directly associated with increased appetite and binge eating. Therefore, by increasing serotonin levels, a users appetite is reduced and the cravings for “comfort food” is diminished completely.
