Griffonia simplicifolia is a West African medicinal plant that has been used extensively by herbalists and natural healers as a treatment for mild depression and headaches.
Griffonia's active ingredient is 5-HTP an amino acid with the ability to increase the production of serotonin (a neurotransmitter). Serotonin is believed to influence emotional stability, sleep patterns and pain control. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with anxiety and depression.
It is also believed that low serotonin levels are often accompanied by increased appetite and cravings, especially for carbohydrates. Studies indicate that 5-HTP may regulate serotonin levels, controlling craving and aiding weight management.
In one trial involving 20 obese patients, daily 5-HTP supplementation resulted in weight loss, reduced carbohydrate intake and early satiety (feeling of fullness). There were no dietary restrictions placed on the subjects during the first six weeks of the trial. After six weeks subjects were placed on a calorie restricted diet. The study subjects showed significant weight loss during both periods.
There are no known safety issues associated with 5-HTP. It has been used clinically for more than 30 years.
