5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) 五羟基色氨酸

Griffonia seed is a plant seed native to Ghana and other regions of Africa. It comes from the plant Griffonia simplicifolia, which belongs to the legume family. The plant is typically a vine or climber with a slender stem and pinnately compound leaves composed of multiple leaflets, similar in appearance to many legumes. Griffonia seed is rich in 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP), an amino acid that is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). Serotonin plays many important roles in the human body, including regulating mood, sleep, and appetite.
