Tryptophan and 5-HTP: Valuable Serotonin Precursors

Both amino acids occur naturally in protein-rich foods – especially in meat, fish, eggs, and grains. The African black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia) naturally contains particularly high levels of 5-HTP, which is why it has been valued for centuries in Africa. 

FormMed offers premium-quality supplements with tryptophan as well as natural 5-HTP from Griffonia extract – available both as pure amino acids and in combination with other carefully balanced micronutrients for specific applications.
