| Introduction | * Griffonia simplicifolia (syn. Bandeiraea simplicifolia Benth.) is a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa and Central Africa. It grows to about 3 m, and bears greenish flowers followed by black pods. * The seeds of the plant are used as an herbal supplement for their 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP ) content. * 5-Hydroxytryptophan is an important building block for the human body to form serotonin, a neurotransmitter. * 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), also known as oxitriptan (INN), is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. |
