Griffonia simplicifolia, Atootoo, Bandeiraea simplicifolia is a woody climbing shrub native to West African and Central African. It grows to about 3 m and bears greenish flowers followed by black pods.
The seeds, about the size of a dime, can be ground into a powder and added to beverages like coffee, tea, or smoothies with a meal or just before bed. Ingesting the powder before bed can help with sleep disorders like insomnia. However, users note that 5-HTP from Griffonia simplicifolia does not cause drowsiness while it regulates sleep.
