Griffonia simplicifolia Seed Extract Powder, commonly known as 5-HTP powder, is derived from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It is renowned for its high content of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a precursor to serotonin, which supports mood balance, stress relief, and improved sleep quality. As a natural botanical extract, it has gained substantial popularity in the health supplement market, especially for applications in mental wellness and weight management products.
Our product is sourced from sustainably harvested Griffonia seeds grown in West Africa, chosen for their premium 5-HTP content and natural purity. The seeds are carefully cleaned, dried, and processed using a water-ethanol extraction method to ensure high bioavailability and purity while retaining the active compounds. This approach delivers consistent quality and a stable powder form that is light gray to off-white, with a mild, earthy aroma and neutral taste, suitable for capsules, tablets, or powdered supplements.
Clients frequently incorporate this extract into products targeting mood support, sleep enhancement, and appetite regulation. The typical recommended dosage is 50-300 mg per serving, depending on the formulation. By choosing our product, customers benefit from stringent quality control, competitive pricing, and reliable supply. We stand out with our commitment to superior raw materials, advanced extraction technology, and excellent client feedback, ensuring an effective and trustworthy solution for diverse applications.

Our 5-HTP powder is naturally extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa, ensuring a premium and sustainable botanical origin.
We utilize a specialized water-ethanol extraction method. This approach preserves the bioactive compounds, maximizes bioavailability, and ensures the highest level of purity and safety without harsh chemicals.
Due to its role as a natural serotonin precursor, it is commonly incorporated into dietary supplements designed to support mood regulation, stress management, restful sleep quality, and healthy appetite control.
The standard recommended dosage generally ranges between 50 mg to 300 mg per serving. We advise adjusting the dosage based on your specific formulation goals and target consumer guidelines.
Each batch is tested under rigorous quality control standards. According to our specifications, we guarantee a minimum of 98% 5-HTP purity via HPLC, keep heavy metals under 10 ppm, and ensure microbial counts are well below industry safety margins.
The final extract is a light gray to off-white fine powder. It has a mild, earthy aroma and a neutral taste profile, making it highly versatile for use in capsules, tablets, or powdered beverage mixes.
