Serotonin – Nutrients & Plant Extracts on the Topic

Serotonin is the body's own messenger substance from the group of biogenic amines. In this category we bring together nutrients and plant extracts that are traditionally associated with the topic of serotonin – including griffonia with natural 5-HTP, selected amino acids and B vitamins. All Scheunengut products are vegan, lab-tested and bottled in Germany.

Origin & Production

At the centre is the African black bean Griffonia simplicifolia, from whose seeds the plant compound 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is obtained. This category also includes amino acids such as L-tryptophan and B vitamins, which are either produced as pure substances or extracted from natural sources.

Standardisation & Form

Griffonia extracts are standardised to a defined 5-HTP content – often around 20% or higher. The preparations are available as capsules or powder, sometimes combined with amino acids and B vitamins. Look for clear information on content and the recommended intake per serving.

Häufige Fragen zu Serotonin

What do people look for when it comes to serotonin?

Serotonin is a messenger substance the body produces itself from the amino acid L-tryptophan. When shopping, people are usually interested in the nutrients this metabolic pathway needs: the precursor 5-HTP from the Griffonia bean, L-tryptophan itself, and B vitamins. Vitamin B6, for example, contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.

What is 5-HTP, and where does it come from?

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a natural plant compound extracted from the seeds of the African black bean, Griffonia simplicifolia. It is considered a direct intermediate on the pathway from L-tryptophan to serotonin. High-quality Griffonia extracts are standardised to a defined 5-HTP content, often around 20 percent or higher.
