Serotonin precursor for mood and sleep.
What it does
Griffonia seed is the natural source of 5-HTP — the direct precursor your brain converts to serotonin, and then to melatonin at night. The mood-and-sleep amino with the most direct mechanism of any botanical: you're supplying the raw material.
How to use it
1 capsule in the evening. Do not combine with antidepressant medication (SSRIs/MAOIs) — speak to your doctor first. Effects build over 2–4 weeks.
On the label
The full active panel — every ingredient, exact milligrams — is printed on the bottle. No proprietary blends, nothing hidden. We're digitising every label panel for this site; if you'd like it now, WhatsApp us and we'll send a photo of the exact label same-day.
Supplements support a good routine — they don't replace one. If you take chronic medication, check with your pharmacist before combining.
Per dose
See bottle for the full ingredient breakdown. Every Vivid active ingredient is named with its exact milligrams on the label.
Daily routine
Follow the directions on the product label. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a health condition, or taking medication, ask a qualified healthcare practitioner or pharmacist before use.
Storage: Below 25°C, in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
Common questions
Can I use this during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Do not start a supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding until a qualified healthcare practitioner has confirmed it is appropriate for you.
Will it interact with my medication?
If you take prescription medication, check with your pharmacist or doctor first — particularly anticoagulants, antidepressants, immunosuppressants, or diabetes medication.
How long should I use it?
Follow the label or your practitioner’s advice. The appropriate duration varies by formula and by person.
Is every batch tested?
Yes. Every Vivid batch is independently tested for identity, potency, and heavy metals before release.
