Product Description
5-HTP in this powder comes from the seed of Griffonia simplicifolia, usually standardized to 98%.
It is a concentrated amino-acid derivative used in capsules, tablets and night-time stick packs where the dose must be exact. It is not a whole-herb powder and the body does not treat it like tryptophan from food.
When buying, confirm HPLC assay, CAS 4350-09-8, microbiology, and whether 5-HTP supplements are lawful in the destination market.

Applications
Tablets
Compression trials should check assay after tableting, not only the incoming powder.
Stick Packs
Possible in a masked powder blend. Serving size has to match the regulatory dose, not a scoop habit.
Not a Tea Cut
Seed extract at 98% is not a Griffonia herbal tea. The dose scale is milligrams.
Identity
HPLC against 5-HTP, CAS 4350-09-8. A tryptophan peak is a different ingredient.
FAQ
Which plant part is the 5-HTP taken from?
Griffonia simplicifolia seed.
What 5-HTP assay should we expect?
98% 5-HTP by HPLC.
Is 5-HTP the same ingredient as tryptophan?
No. 5-HTP is the next step after tryptophan and is regulated more tightly in several markets.
What does the powder look like?
A white fine powder at the 98% grade.
Why is content uniformity called out?
A small weigh error on a 98% powder moves the serving more than the same error on a 10:1 herb.
