Description
Griffonia is a natural source of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the intermediate metabolite produced when the body initiates the process of converting the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to serotonin. Serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.

Helps to promote healthy mood balance and used as a sleep aid. Use for a minimum of 1 week to see beneficial effects. Consult a health-care practitioner for use beyond one year.

Recommended Dosage: (Adults) Take with food. To promote healthy mood balance: Take 1-2 capsules three times daily or as recommended by a health professional. To minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, start dosing at 1 capsule three times daily and slowly increase to effective dose over a period of 2 weeks. For use as a sleep aid: Take 2-4 capsules daily or as recommended by a health professional. Take 30-45 minutes before bedtime.
