Griffonia Extract

More about Griffonia Extract

You've probably heard of serotonin before. This neurotransmitter plays a very important role in regulating your mood, sleep and appetite.
If you feel depressed, you may be short of serotonin and eat a lot of carbohydrates (sugars) regularly, for example, to help raise your level. 
Your mood is also strongly influenced when you sometimes use an XTC pill at a party, where you then end up in a dip.
Griffonia simplicifolia is a shrub from Central and West Africa.
This Griffonia extract is a natural source of 5-HTP, or 5-hydroxy trypthophane and allows the amount of serotonin in your brain to increase.

Usage

Take 1 capsule daily before sleeping with water or juice. Attention: do not take with milk, other proteins or vitamin 6.

Important:

Excess 5-HTP causes the liver to metabolize 5-HTP into serotonin, especially when combined with vitamin B6. This may result in heart valve damage or disease (cardiac fibrosis). When combined with an MAOi or SSRI, 5-HTP can cause acute serotonin syndrome.

Contra indications

A healthy lifestyle is important, as is a varied, balanced diet for which supplements are no substitute. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Store in a cool and dry place. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. This product may cause drowsiness.
