What is Vit'all+ 5-HTP Griffonia extract?

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid naturally found in the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a plant native to West Africa. It is produced by the body from L-tryptophan and converts into serotonin (a neurotransmitter) in the brain. Vit'all+ Griffonia extract is standardized to 25% 5-HTP, with a 3:1 concentration ratio, providing 200 mg of seed extract for 50 mg of active 5-HTP per capsule. BOTANI+ certified. Manufactured in Sarthe by Vit'all+, a French family business since 1987.

The benefits of 5-HTP Griffonia extract

Precursor to serotonin, the well-being neurotransmitter

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and behavior. Unlike dietary L-tryptophan, which must undergo several metabolic steps, 5-HTP is converted directly into serotonin in the brain after crossing the blood-brain barrier, offering a more direct and efficient supplementation route.

Sleep support

Serotonin is also a precursor to melatonin, the sleep hormone. By increasing serotonin availability, 5-HTP can contribute to better endogenous melatonin synthesis, promoting more natural sleep onset and improved sleep quality. Recommended intake in the evening or at 5 PM optimizes this effect.

Emotional balance and well-being

An optimal serotonin level is associated with better emotional balance, greater stress resistance, and a general feeling of well-being. 5-HTP supplementation is particularly relevant during periods of stress, fatigue, or seasonal changes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 5-HTP and L-tryptophan?

L-tryptophan is the amino acid precursor to 5-HTP, which is itself a precursor to serotonin. 5-HTP is therefore a more advanced step in the serotonin synthesis chain. It crosses the blood-brain barrier more easily and its conversion to serotonin is more direct, making it an often preferred option for targeted support of brain serotonin.

Why take 5-HTP in the evening or at 5 PM?

Serotonin produced at the end of the day is converted into melatonin by the pineal gland once evening arrives. Taking 5-HTP early in the evening or at 5 PM helps optimize this endogenous melatonin synthesis, promoting more natural sleep onset and better nocturnal sleep quality.

Can 5-HTP be combined with the Vit'all+ Sleep Complex?

These two products have complementary mechanisms. It is best to consult a healthcare professional before combining them, particularly due to the potentially cumulative effects on serotonin and melatonin.

What is BOTANI+ certification?

BOTANI+ is a certification implemented by Vit'all+ to guarantee the quality, traceability, and concentration of active ingredients in its plant extracts. It attests to rigorous standardization and optimal purity of the extract.
