Griffonia Seed Extract, 98% 5-HTP
We have also conducted a thorough inventory of the natural resource base for
the plant as well as a countrywide survey of the 5-HTP content of seed
varieties collected from different regions the optimum harvest time.
We have well-trained purchasing agents armed with up-to-date field instruments
to confirm identity grade the quality of seeds collected. The seeds are
processed in controlled-heat drying facilities which ensures consistently low
residual moisture below 10%. The dried seeds are packaged in 50 kilogram burlap
bags stored in environmentally-controlled warehouses until shipment.
We began to manufacture 5-HTP extracted from Griffonia simplicifolia seed in
2003.We have 6 years experience in manufacturing 5-HTP, Advanced extraction
technology the high quality of 5-HTP.
Description
Griffonia simplicifolia is a plant growing in western African countries such as
Ghana, Ivory Coast Togo. In the traditional therapeutic application of
those countries, the leaf juice of the plant can be used fthe treatment
of wounds nephropathy, also as enema aphrodisiac, while the
comminuted bark can be made into ointment fthe 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 the important brain chemical serotonin. The natural ingredient
can be used in anti-hypochondria, weight loss, relieving PMS, curing hemicrania
abstaining from addiction.
Application
In Europe, 5-HTP has been used fdecades as an approved treatment for
depression, sleep problems, weight loss, other medical complaints. It is
now starting to be used in the USA.
Main application, as follows:
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
better than those of standard synthetic drugs used in the problems arising from
serotonin deficiency syndrome.
2. 5- HTP provides the quickest, most effective, most consistent overall
results in treating insomnia. It is an effective alternative fdealing with
sleep problems in a safe 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 4 without increasing
total sleep time. 5- HTP accomplishes this by shortening the amount of time you
spend in sleep stages 1 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
rejuvenating. Instead of waking feeling tired, worn out, "hungover,"
people taking 5- HTP feel vibrant, well rested, ready to take on the
challenges of the day. When we sleep more deeply dream more efficiently, we
wake in the morning with our physical 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
nightmares due to abnormally prolonged REM sleep. It can also lead to mild
nausea.
