Natural Griffonia Seed Extract

Natural Griffonia Seed Extract — Premium 5-HTP Botanical Ingredient for B2B Supplement Formulation

Shaanxi Hongda Phytochemistry Co., Ltd. produces and sells Natural Griffonia Seed Extract, which has been HPLC-tested to contain 50–99% 5-HTP. The slightly off-white fine powder (95% pass 80 mesh, bulk density 0.45–0.65 g/ml) comes from West African Griffonia simplicifolia seeds. Our cGMP-certified 20,000 m² factory makes it, and each year it can make 3,000 tonnes of it. People check each batch for Peak X, heavy metals (10 ppm), bacteria, and pesticide residues before sending it out. Certifications include cGMP, KOSHER, HALAL, BRC, ISO9001, and ISO22000. It should arrive in 3–7 business days. Buyers in business can get free samples if they meet the requirements.

Product Introduction

The Griffonia simplicifolia is a growing bush that comes from Ghana and the Ivory Coast in West Africa. Our product, a standardised botanical part, is made from its seeds.

The high amount of 5-HTP in the extract makes it useful in the business world. 5-HTP is a direct biological precursor to serotonin. When compared to L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP is more bioavailable at lower doses because it can get through the blood-brain barrier more easily and skips the part where tryptophan hydroxylase slows things down.

Because of this, the nutraceutical and functional food industries want it a lot as an active ingredient in products that help with sleep, mood, feeling full, and stress relief.

Third-Party Test Report

Our SGS-approved in-house laboratory tests every production batch, and authorised third-party agencies like SGS and Eurofins check the results.

The tests include an HPLC measurement to check for 5-HTP content, Peak X detection, solvent residues according to USP 467>, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and a full microbial screening with a Total Plate Count of less than 1,000 cfu/g and no tolerance for Salmonella, E. coli, or Staphylococcus.

We also use Carbon-14 (C14) radiocarbon dating to make sure that the 5-HTP comes from plants and not manmade 5-HTP that comes from petrochemicals. Every order comes with a test result that is special to the batch.

Product Specification

COA (Certificate of Analysis)

Every batch gets a full COA that lists the following: visual appearance, particle size, bulk density, moisture, ash, heavy metals, microbiological results, solvent residues, and Peak X test results.

This certificate meets the requirements set by the USP and the EP monograph for 5-HTP raw materials. Upon request, source traceability paperwork showing Griffonia simplicifolia comes from Ghana or Ivory Coast is available to back up your regulatory submissions and label claims.

Natural Griffonia Seed Extract Advantages

Clean-Label, Plant-Based Origin

Only water and ethanol are used to extract the oil—no Class 1 solvents like benzene are used. This makes sure that your recipe stays in line with the strict rules of the US and EU markets.

The highest level of X-free safety

Our controlled filtration and crystallisation purification steps get rid of impurities that are related to tryptophan. Peak X has either not been found or has been proven to be below 100 ppm, which means it meets the world's toughest safety standards for dietary supplements.

Better bioavailability than L-Tryptophan

5-HTP goes straight from the blood to the brain without having to compete with other amino acids for absorption. The dose-response for your finished product is more stable.

Authenticated Natural Source

A Carbon-14 isotopic profile proves that each batch is actually made from plants, giving you proof to back up your "natural" or "clean label" marketing claims.

Particle engineering that stays the same

95% pass 80 mesh makes sure that capsule fills are evenly mixed and stops hot spots, which is very helpful for high-speed encapsulation and tableting operations.

Griffonia Htp Uses 

1. Natural Griffonia seed extract has been shown to help people with depression, nervousness, and sleep problems.

2. The powder made from Ghana seeds is used in medicine to slow down ageing and heal nerves.

3. 5-HTP powder is what weight loss meal replacements are made of;

4. Griffonia extract 5 htp is used in additives for food.

Natural Griffonia Seed Extract Application

Mood & Sleep Supplements (Capsules / Tablets)

It is often mixed with Melatonin, Valerian Root, or GABA as the main ingredient in formulas that support serotonin. The extract doesn't lose any of its effectiveness when it's compressed during tableting.

Blends for Weight Loss and Satiety

Signalling that you are full is helped by serotonin. It is often mixed with thermogenics like Green Tea Extract in products that help control hunger. Note on the formula: make sure that mineral fillers like Chromium Picolinate don't affect the formula in any way.

Drinks that work as nootropics

In relaxation drinks, micro-encapsulated or nano-emulsified forms of the extract are used to keep it from settling to the bottom and hide the naturally bitter taste of 5-HTP in water.

Gummy Shapes

The extract can be used in gummies, but it needs to be added after the gummies are cooked and while they are cooling so that it doesn't break down too quickly. Taste-masking substances should be used.

Production Process

Raw Griffonia simplicifolia seeds come from confirmed farms in West Africa and are checked to make sure they are the right type before they are processed.

There are no Class 1 liquids used in the extraction; it is done with water and ethanol. Peak X and other impurities relating to tryptophan are taken out by controlled filtering and multistage crystallisation. After the extract is cleaned, it is spray-dried until the particles are the right size (95% pass 80 mesh) and the bulk density is right (0.45–0.65 g/ml).

In our 100,000-level-purified workplace, finished goods are put in double-layer PE bags inside 25 kg fibre drums. Desiccants are added to keep the goods from caking up while they are being stored or shipped.

FAQ

Q1: How do you know for sure that this is real 5-HTP and not a fake one?

A: Radiocarbon dating with Carbon-14 is what we do. An product from a natural plant has a modern carbon signature, but 5-HTP made from petrochemicals has no C14 activity. HPLC residue levels are also not the same.

Q2: Is Peak X checked on each batch?

A: Yes, HPLC is used to test every output batch for Peak X (1,1'-ethylidenebis[L-tryptophan]). It says either "Not Detected" or "Confirmed Below 100 ppm" in the results, which are part of the COA.

Q3: How do you do extraction? What solvents are used?

A: Just alcohol and water. Because of strict USP <467> solvent waste rules, no Class 1 solvents like benzene or methanol are used.

Q4: What keeping conditions must be met to keep caking from happening?

A: Keep it at -25°C in a container that doesn't let light in and has desiccants inside. The extract can hold water. If kept in the right way, it will last for two to three years.

Q5: What size is the mesh, and why does it matter?

A: As a general rule, particles should be 95% pass 80 mesh. This small, uniform size keeps capsule fills from getting hot spots and speeds up the dissolution process compared to larger grades.

Q6: What is your sample policy and what is your minimum order amount?

A: Qualified business-to-business buyers can get free samples (20–100 g). Please get in touch with our team to get MOQ information based on the features and style you need.
