L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural amino acid
extracted from the seeds of
Griffonia simplicifolia
found principally in the West African countries, such as
Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. 5-HTP is used in alleviating the
symptoms of some common syndromes such as anxiety and
depression. 5-HTP is also known as a natural relaxant, which
helps alleviate insomnia by inducing normal sleep, and treat
migraine and headaches. In addition, it can be used to control
of cravings such as eating disorders. Recently, it is reported
that 5-HTP has effects to control the symptom of Parkinson´s
disease and epilepsy.
