Griffonia simplicifolia, a medicinal herb native to Africa, has been found to be an effective remedy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also known as spastic colon. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the active ingredient extracted from the seeds of this plant, is converted into serotonin when consumed, which helps regulate the activity of the central nervous system and intestinal nerves. This can lead to a reduction in intestinal spasms, improved digestion, and better stool consistency.
Research has shown that IBS is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. While the exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, medical experts believe that neurological factors play a significant role in its development. Prolonged stress, anxiety, and insomnia can lead to disruptions in the central nervous system, which in turn affect the intestinal nerves and cause abnormal contractions in the colon.
In Vietnam, researchers have developed a product called Trang Phuc Linh Plus that combines 5-HTP with other medicinal herbs known for their digestive benefits. This solution is specifically designed to help individuals with spastic colon disease and has been shown to regulate intestinal motility and reduce colon spasms in studies conducted at Hanoi Medical University. Trang Phuc Linh Plus has received positive feedback from users with 98% reporting satisfaction with the product. It is available at pharmacies nationwide and can also be found in major chains such as Long Chau, An Khang, and Pharmacity. While Trang Phuc Linh Plus is not a substitute for medication it has been deemed safe for consumption by the Ministry of Health and Food Safety Department for more information individuals can contact toll-free hotline 18001506
