An Individual Case Study on the Effects of Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract (5-HTP) on Incremental Sleep Schedule Improvement
Abstract
The regulation and maintenance of the sleep-wake cycle are vital to maintaining optimal health. When this sleep-wake cycle becomes disrupted, there are several courses of action an individual can take to reset their sleep schedule, including taking sleep-medication prescribed by their provider. From an integrative health care perspective, the 5- hydroxytryptophan
(5-HTP) extract from the Griffonia simplicifolia may prove to be beneficial in this case study evaluating its effectiveness in helping an individual maintain a healthier sleep schedule, thus opening more discussion for larger case studies verifying
the effectiveness of 5-HTP in treating insomnia.
