Griffonia simplicifolia
A West African climbing shrub whose seeds contain 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), the direct precursor to serotonin; clinically effective for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and appetite control.
Griffonia simplicifolia is a West African climbing shrub whose seeds are a natural source of 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), the direct precursor to serotonin. It is used clinically for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and appetite control, with limited clinical evidence supporting these applications. The primary active compound is 5-HTP, along with griffonin and benzylamine derivatives.
5-HTP is converted to serotonin (5-HT) in the brain via aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, increasing central serotonergic activity. It modulates mood, sleep, and appetite through activation of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, and may enhance melatonin synthesis for sleep regulation. The compound also influences tryptophan hydroxylase and serotonin transporter activity, contributing to its antidepressant and anxiolytic effects.
