Description

Griffonia simplicifolia contains 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), one of the precursors to serotonin which is the main neurotransmitter needed for stage 1 sleep transition and mood elevation. This ingredient works together with our active form of vitamin B6 to jumpstart the production of serotonin in your body.
Aids Healthy Sleep
The rich 5-HTP content in griffonia simplicifolia works together with our active form of vitamin B6 to facilitate this conversion and aid in sleep transition. We included this in our Recover Nighttime formula to allow the mind to relax and prepare for healthy, sustainable sleep.
Relaxes the Mind
Griffonia simplicifolia’s 5-HTP content is a primary component in serotonin production. Serotonin is often known as the key neurotransmitter for mood elevation. This works in our Recover Nighttime formula to ease the mind and improve mood as you “wind down” for sleep.
