Griffonia simplicifolia is a climbing shrub whose seeds contain 5-hydroxytryptophan. It is an important building block in the human body, which can only be obtained through food. Most of the received 5-hydroxytryptophan in the brain cells is converted into serotonin, which is believed to be responsible for the feeling of happiness. Serotonin transmits nerve impulses between brain cells. Its consumption leads to increased anxiety, irritability, depression and migraines. Taking 5-hydroxytryptophan leads to an increase in serotonin levels, which has a beneficial effect on mood, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia and work ability.
