The use of griffonia seed extract in sports nutrition

Griffonia seed extract is most commonly found in two categories of sports nutrition supplements: 1) weight loss products, where it acts as an appetite blocker, and 2) sleep aids, which utilize its ability to enhance relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enhance melatonin secretion.

There are many opinions, including polar ones, regarding the effect of griffonia extract on weight loss processes. Griffonia helped some people lose weight, while others did not feel the effect at all. It should be borne in mind here that griffonia extract is not a fat burner, but an appetite blocker. It affects the fat layer not directly, but indirectly - through a weakening of appetite, through an increased feeling of satiety. It is quite obvious that there may be countless nuances that nullify this effect in specific conditions. For example, eating a diet with excess calories. A slight decrease in appetite leads to the fact that a person eats a little less than before - but it still turns out to be more than he needs. In this case, there is no need to expect weight loss. Or the inability to cope with stress - yes, the extract can have its effect, but if the stress load is too great, and the psychological defense still works in this way - through “eating” the negative, then in this case the problem will not be solved either.

That is why it is necessary to select supplements individually, and possibly combine them with others to enhance the effect.

If you take sports supplements for sleep, then the effect of griffonia will also be very subtle and indirect. This may seem like a disadvantage to some, but it is not. The gentleness and balance of the action of such drugs is their advantage - after all, it is precisely because of the harmonious and gentle action of natural components that such drugs are used. If the situation is so severe that plant extracts cannot correct it, then this is a reason to think about a full medical examination and the use of more powerful pharmacological agents.

And a sports nutrition for sleep based on natural plant extracts is a means to solve sleep problems by incorporating the resources of your own body and eliminating imbalances in metabolic processes. And this allows you to stop negative processes at the very beginning, preventing them from developing into a full-blown disease.

For example, when, due to a fateful combination of circumstances, a person does not get enough sleep or suffers from insomnia, a remedy based on herbal ingredients, such as Sleep Formula from Be First, makes it possible to relax and fall asleep faster, as well as sleep more deeply and peacefully throughout the night, and after waking up do not experience any depressive symptoms, lethargy or drowsiness. On the contrary, such remedies act only at the beginning, helping to eliminate the causes of insomnia, but without suppressing the activity of the nervous system. Therefore, after waking up, a person experiences vigor and feels well rested.

Action

Griffonia is a product necessary to optimize the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system. The tropical plant griffonia and B vitamins, acting synergistically, have a beneficial effect on brain function, the sleep-wake cycle, help eliminate dysphoria, and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.

Action of active components

Griffonia is an exotic plant native to West and Central Africa. Among all parts of Griffonia, the seeds are of the greatest value due to their content of the natural substance 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). This amino acid is a precursor to one of the most important neurotransmitters, serotonin. 5-HTP molecules easily penetrate brain cells, turning into serotonin. Studies have shown that 5-HTP is not inferior in effectiveness to synthetic antidepressants. This substance, together with vitamin B6, increases the synthesis of endorphins, which are responsible for positive emotions, helps improve mood and restore all phases of healthy sleep: falling asleep, REM and shallow sleep. In European countries, this substance has been used for many years to combat depression and improve memory. 5-HTP also suppresses the stimulation of the appetite control center in the brain, especially reducing cravings for carbohydrate foods. In addition, this amino acid effectively helps cope with PMS symptoms: it reduces feelings of depression, tension, anxiety, emotional instability, and irritability that occur in the last week of the cycle.

Vitamin B6 plays a leading role in the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system, participating in the synthesis of the most important neurotransmitters, vitamin B12. In a number of studies, vitamin B6 has shown its effectiveness in depression: it is responsible for the absorption of amino acids essential for the brain (tryptophan, cysteine, methionine) and the production of antipsychotic hormones serotonin and norepinephrine. The need for this vitamin increases when taking antidepressants and oral contraceptives, during times of stress and increased emotional stress.

Vitamin B12 . A wide range of emotional and cognitive capabilities depend on maintaining optimal levels of this vitamin in the body. It helps prevent depression, senile dementia and mental confusion, helps overcome insomnia, and adapt to changes in sleep and wakefulness, which is explained by the direct participation of cyanocobalamin in the synthesis of melatonin. At the same time, vitamin deficiency can lead to the development of peripheral neuritis, optic nerve atrophy and degenerative changes in bone and spinal cord cells.

GRIFFONY. PROPERTIES. WHO WE RECOMMEND

TO EVERY MOTHER

Having children brings certain adjustments to life. Regular lack of sleep, unbalanced diet, stressful situations - all this disrupts the production of the “happiness hormone”. Griffonia Coral Club will help restore a sense of self-control and calm.

WHEN WORKING HARD

An organism that is constantly in a high level of stress will sooner or later fail. Don't wait for this to happen. Griffonia extract will help increase stress resistance during emotional stress.

TO OLD PEOPLE

When a person has no desire to live, his body is powerless against disease. One of the causes of apathy is low serotonin levels. Start using griffonia and you will see a completely different person in front of you.

FOR SLEEP DISORDERS, MIGRAINS

Serotonin is involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles. And besides, it will provide you with a boost of vivacity and energy for the whole day.

Griffonia seeds are also used for pain in migraines and fibromyalgia (the severity of pain, morning stiffness, and insomnia are reduced).

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST EXCESS WEIGHT

Griffonia is a good helper for those who struggle with excess body weight, especially when there is a tendency to eat stress.

When a person lives in a state of dissatisfaction with himself and the world around him, when he is psychologically depressed, there is no chance of restoring health and returning to his former harmony.

Griffonia extract helps eliminate the CAUSE - stress itself. This supplement will help restore your state of happiness.

High levels of serotonin will ensure a satisfied feeling of fullness after eating. There will be no desire to overeat. Also, the amino acid 5-HTP limits the production of dopamine, a hormone that increases appetite.

This is a “double whammy” of hunger that will help you stick to your plan.

Why is serotonin needed and the reasons for its deficiency?

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is closely associated with human behavior, mood, appetite and desire. With its help, psycho-emotional balance is achieved. The more serotonin in the body, the more comfortable we feel. But excess hormone is harmful to health.

The main functions of serotonin:

• fights anxiety, depression, creates a good mood;
• gives a good night's sleep;
• reduces appetite, provides a feeling of satiety;
• gives vigor and energy;
• controls stress hormones;
• necessary for mental activity.

If you are in a bad mood and lack of strength, do not rush to give up. Perhaps you just don't have enough serotonin. Rule out causes that affect neurotransmitter levels;

• unbalanced diet;
• sedentary work, lack of physical activity;
• chronic stress;
• limitation in pleasures;
• night shifts, insomnia;
• lack of sunlight;
• drinking large amounts of coffee, tea, chocolate.

The hormone serotonin is actively produced under the influence of ultraviolet rays. This is why depression most often appears during the cold season. In the summer, as a rule, people feel much happier.

To replenish serotonin reserves, you need to eat foods high in tryptophan. This is an amino acid with which the happiness hormone is formed. The main sources of tryptophan are beans, mushrooms, cottage cheese, dates, pine nuts, sesame seeds and others. When you can’t stick to proper nutrition, you can resort to dietary supplements.

HOW GRIFFONIA AFFECTS THE BODY

The amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan enters the brain in the bloodstream and increases the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the central nervous system.

That is, the transformation of 5-HTP into serotonin occurs directly in the brain.

At the same time, there is no sudden release of energy, because 5-hydroxytryptophan inhibits the synthesis of dopamine, thus maintaining balance. There is a calm feeling of emotional control.

Griffonia Coral Club is a pure griffonia seed extract, which is additionally enriched with vitamins B6 and B12.

The effect of this dietary supplement is very mild because it creates a moderate level of serotonin.

GRIFFONY. CONTRAINDICATIONS

Not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Only if there are serious reasons and after consultation with the doctor who is caring for the pregnancy.

Griffonia should also be used for children after consultation with a doctor. Typically, this supplement is prescribed to children for neuropsychiatric disorders together with Lecithin, as well as additional amino acids.

It is strictly contraindicated to take griffonia extract in excessively large quantities, as well as to combine it with antidepressants. This can lead to excess production of serotonin in the body.

When taken simultaneously with sedatives or herbal tinctures that have a calming effect, it may cause excessive drowsiness.

The human brain weighs about 2% of the total body weight, but it consumes about 20% of the oxygen entering the blood. This fact makes the human brain extremely susceptible to damage caused by a lack of oxygen.

The highest body temperature was recorded in Willie Jones (USA), who was admitted to the hospital with a temperature of 46.5°C.

If your liver stopped working, death would occur within 24 hours.

American scientists conducted experiments on mice and came to the conclusion that watermelon juice prevents the development of vascular atherosclerosis. One group of mice drank plain water, and the second group drank watermelon juice. As a result, the vessels of the second group were free of cholesterol plaques.

Scientists from Oxford University conducted a series of studies in which they came to the conclusion that vegetarianism can be harmful to the human brain, as it leads to a decrease in its mass. Therefore, scientists recommend not completely excluding fish and meat from your diet.

Smiling just twice a day can lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

A person taking antidepressants will, in most cases, become depressed again. If a person has coped with depression on his own, he has every chance to forget about this condition forever.

According to statistics, on Mondays the risk of back injuries increases by 25%, and the risk of a heart attack by 33%. Be careful.

A job that a person doesn’t like is much more harmful to his psyche than no job at all.

Properties of the supplement from Coral Club

Under stress and emotional disorders, which is difficult to avoid in modern conditions, serotonin deficiency occurs. Some of the tryptophan that comes from food is used for other compounds. Therefore, there are no resources left for the production of serotonin. Griffonia contains 5-hydroxytryptophan, which easily produces the desired hormone.

The drug contains B vitamins that support the functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. They regulate emotional state and help cope with depression and stress.

Benefits of the drug:

• helps with migraines;
• normalizes sleep;
• eliminates stiffness in the morning;
• improves the activity of the nervous system;
• increases stress resistance;
• reduces appetite.

GRIFFONY. APPLICATION

We recommend starting with 1 capsule per day. This dosage produces a mild but noticeable effect in most people.

If there is a need to increase the amount, keep in mind that the safe dosage of 5-HTP is 100 mg per day, that is, for an adult this is 2 capsules of Griffonia (Coral Club).

When you start taking it, do not mix Griffonia with melatonin, tyrosine or similar substances in order to first check its effect on your body, regardless of other components.

WHERE DOES SEROTONIN LACK COME FROM?

5-HTP is normally produced by the body. The starting material is the amino acid tryptophan (found in many high-protein foods: red meat, poultry, eggs, milk, beans, lentils, nuts).

However, during emotional stress, most of the tryptophan is metabolized into other compounds and 5-HTP is not formed. No necessary amino acid means no serotonin.

► Unbalanced diet ► Lack of daylight ► Constant emotional stress ► Sedentary work ► Sedentary lifestyle ► Night shift work

All this does not go unnoticed for health. Tension accumulates for months, sometimes years, and then at one point a breakdown occurs.

Consequently:

⇒ Apathy, lack of desire to do anything, life as if on automatic

⇒ Loss of self-control, when any little thing can make you angry

⇒ Uncontrollable outbursts of aggression

⇒ Sleep disorders - when you cannot fall asleep for a long time, or your sleep is superficial

Griffonia of the Coral Club will help restore a state of happiness.

After all, this condition directly depends on the sufficient production of the hormones serotonin and dopamine.
