Tryfonia MAX is L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract. 5-HTP is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan and an essential precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin and the neurohormone melatonin. Together 5-HTP serotonin and melatonin are important for the regulation of mood and healthy sleep.

5-HTP is primarily used to support mood through its ability to boost serotonin the neurotransmitter associated with happiness. 5-HTP has been compared to various tricyclic antidepressants and has been found to be as effective and faster-acting with fewer side effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle 5-HTP can also enhance sleep quality. Additionally research supports a role for 5-HTP in reducing headaches and the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Studies in Spain and Italy found that 5-HTP was comparable to the drug methysergide in alleviating the symptoms of migraines (over 70% in both groups) while eliciting considerably fewer side effects. Fibromyalgia patients have been found to have low serotonin levels and have shown symptomatic improvement with the use of tricyclic and SSRI antidepressants. Several clinical trials with 5-HTP have confirmed significant improvements in symptoms including pain morning stiffness nervousness and fatigue.
