WHY 5-HTP IS A SUPERFOOD
A plant-sourced compound in a convenient form
5-HTP stands for 5-Hydroxytryptophan. What makes it interesting as a supplement ingredient is its natural origin: it’s most commonly extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a woody climbing shrub native to West and Central Africa. Rather than being made purely in a lab, this popular ingredient has a genuine botanical source.
That plant origin, combined with a clean capsule format, is a big part of why 5-HTP has become such a widely recognised name in the modern wellness world.
- Plant-sourced — from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds.
- A recognised wellness ingredient — familiar and widely available.
- Convenient and measured — a clean daily capsule.
