Griffonia simplicifolia is a subtropical plant used in traditional African medicine to treat a wide range of ailments.
What does Griffonia contain?
Griffonia simplicifolia seeds contain 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), a precursor of serotonin, which is responsible for the plant's therapeutic action.
What are the benefits of Griffonia?
It contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system, normalises relaxation, maintains mental health, controls hunger and promotes nerve regeneration through sleep.
It is commonly used orally for:
- Depression – 5-HTP extract is known for its antidepressant effects, which alleviate mood disorders by increasing serotonin levels.
- Anxiety – It has also been shown to be effective in mood disorders such as anxiety. The leaves are traditionally used in tea for their calming and anti-anxiety effects.
- Weight loss – It can aid in the weight loss process by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of satiety.
- Headaches – It can reduce their frequency and intensity.
- Insomnia – In several clinical studies, 5-HTP extract from Griffonia simplicifolia reduced the severity of insomnia.
What are the potential side effects of Griffonia?
Reported side effects are gastrointestinal in nature, such as diarrhoea, stomach pain and vomiting, but these are very rare. Other side effects of 5-HTP have included rapid heart rate, skin reactions, drowsiness, headaches and muscle problems.
Because it contains 5-HTP, it may interact with treatments for Parkinson's disease and with MAOI and SSRI antidepressants (serotonin levels may increase significantly).
It is recommended that you consult your doctor before taking any dietary supplement containing Griffonia extract.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking Griffonia simplicifolia if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. To be on the safe side, avoid use.
How is Griffonia administered?
Griffonia capsules are taken 1-2 capsules twice a day.
