Griffonia Extract Plus (5-HTP), 60 EMBO-CAPS

100 mg of pure 5-HTP from the African black bean (Griffonia simplicifolia)

As a high-quality natural product, it has high bioavailability. Vitamins B1 and B6 support the normal functioning of the mind and the nervous system. The supplement is free from additives. It is therefore well tolerated, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Please note that 5-HTP is not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding women or people taking antidepressants .

The importance of serotonin

Serotonin is produced by the body itself from the amino acid tryptophan via the intermediate 5-HTP. The ‘happiness hormone’ is one of the most important neurotransmitters. It regulates signal transmission in key areas of the brain and influences our mood, sleep and appetite.
As our diet contains very little serotonin, any deficiencies can only be compensated for through supplementation. It has been shown that 5-HTP is significantly more effective than tryptophan.

Most of the 5-HTP is metabolised into serotonin by so-called enterochromaffin cells in the gut. The serotonin produced is released into the bloodstream, but cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. For this reason, specialised nerve cells in the brain are responsible for converting 5-HTP into serotonin.

Instructions for use from EnergyVital

5-HTP is a highly potent substance. Taking large quantities can quickly lead to nausea. Therefore, as a ‘beginner’, you should definitely start with small amounts. 100 mg per capsule is only recommended for people who are familiar with the substance and know that they can tolerate this amount. For ‘beginners’, we recommend the lower-dose 5-HTP from Natur Vital.

High-quality formulations from the Netherlands

Podo medi's products are significantly influenced by the naturopathic experience of its co-founder Wolfgang P. Schallmey. However, he has been retired since 2020, which is why the "Woscha" brand has become the "natura felix" brand. The tried-and-tested recipes will remain largely the same. In addition to the logo, the packaging of many products will change significantly. The company is increasingly switching from plastic to more environmentally friendly cardboard cans.

Manufacturer's address: podo medi netherlands B.V, Hinmanweg 9H, 7575 BE Oldenzaal, Netherlands. E-mail: info@podomedi.de.
