Osavi - 5-HTP, 100mg, 120vcaps

Osavi 5-HTP 100 mg – Griffonia seed extract in vegan capsules

Osavi 5-HTP is a food supplement in vegan capsules, each capsule containing 333.33 mg of Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. The extract is standardised to 30% 5-HTP, so one capsule provides 100 mg of 5-HTP. The recommended daily dose is one capsule, so a pack of 120 capsules lasts four months. The formula is short and simple: besides the plant extract, the capsule contains only inulin, and the capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. The product is made in the European Union and the capsules are also suitable for vegans.

5-HTP and Griffonia simplicifolia

5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptophan, is a naturally occurring compound that is chemically close to the amino acid tryptophan. For food supplements it is usually obtained from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a climbing plant native to West Africa whose seeds are naturally rich in 5-HTP. Osavi uses an extract with a ratio of 30:1, meaning 30 parts of seeds are used to obtain one part of extract. The extract is standardised to 30% 5-HTP, so the amount of 5-HTP is consistent in every capsule – 333.33 mg of extract provides 100 mg of 5-HTP. A standardised extract is a good choice for those who want to know exactly how much 5-HTP each capsule contains.

How to use?

Take one capsule a day, preferably before bedtime, and swallow it with a sufficient amount of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you use other food supplements containing 5-HTP or Griffonia extract at the same time, take their amounts into account too. Taking the capsule at the same time every day makes it easier to remember. At the recommended use, one pack lasts 120 days.
