Anxiety, trouble sleeping, and emotional eating tied to serotonin imbalance
Griffonex 5-HTP
Supports Relief From
Griffonex™ is designed to support emotional well-being, restful sleep, and appetite regulation. It’s often used for symptoms such as mild to moderate depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbances, emotional eating, headaches, and PMS. It may also support individuals struggling with fibromyalgia, carbohydrate cravings, and REM sleep disruption.
Griffonex™ contains 5-HTP, a direct precursor to serotonin—the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. Boosting serotonin levels naturally can support improved mood, reduced anxiety, more stable sleep patterns, and better appetite control.
How It Works Holistically
Griffonex™ provides 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African plant traditionally used to support mood and nervous system health. 5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in emotional regulation, pain perception, and sleep cycles. Supplementing with 5-HTP has been shown to improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia—particularly when serotonin levels are depleted due to chronic stress, hormonal shifts, or neurological imbalance.
Serotonin also converts into melatonin, a hormone that regulates circadian rhythms, making Griffonex™ especially helpful for people with difficulty falling or staying asleep. In addition, serotonin influences appetite and satiety; Griffonex™ may help reduce emotional eating and carbohydrate cravings, making it a helpful adjunct to weight management or PMS support. Research also suggests benefits for headache reduction and fibromyalgia symptoms when taken consistently.
When Griffonex™ Is Right for You
Choose Griffonex™ if you're experiencing persistent low mood, restlessness, sleep issues, emotional eating, or PMS-related irritability—especially when symptoms point to a serotonin deficiency. It’s also helpful for chronic pain or headaches linked to sleep disturbance. Griffonex™ can be used during the day to support mood or before bed to promote deeper, more restful sleep. If you are currently on antidepressants, consult your healthcare provider before use.
