Exercise & Fitness
Fact: Regular physical activity - even at moderate levels - reduces
the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and obesity.
Here's another fact: 65% of Americans are considered obese. So while
the risks associated with not exercising are clear, we don't seem to
be doing anything to change our sedentary ways.

5 HTP
INFORMATION
|

What do depression, insomnia, anxiety, suicide, migraines,
PMS, obsessive/compulsive behavior, stress, obesity, and
addiction have in common? All of these conditions are
manifestations of low levels of serotonin. Many of the new
prescription drugs that have become available since the
absence of L-Tryptophan are designed to regulate brain
serotonin levels (called Selective Serotonin Reuptake
Inhibitors or SSRIs).
Now, a natural and safe alternative to these drugs is
available in the form of 5-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan (5-HTP).
5-HTP, a compound synthesized in the body from the amino acid
tryptophan is ten times more active than L-Tryptophan and is
the immediate precursor to serotonin (5-Hydroxy typtamine or
5-HT) which is found in the brain, blood platelets, and
duodenal mucosa cells of the gastrointestinal tract, Since
serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system it
has many implications on mood, behavior and sleep patterns.
The function of Prozac®, Paxil and many other
antidepressant drugs, is to increase the availability of
serotonin in certain brain synapses. Unfortunately, these
drugs can produce many unpleasant and dangerous side affects.
Since 5-HTP cannot be patented, drug companies have no
interest in supplying this compound to the public.
Now that tryptophan is restricted by the FDA, researchers
have clinically investigated 5-HTP in comparison to
antidepressant drugs. The results of the studies were
astounding. Using the standard depression scale, both the drug
and 5-HTP groups displayed identical reduction in depression.
Depressed patients who received 100 mg of 5-HTP, three times
daily, showed at least a 50% improvement in their symptoms,
without any reported side effects. Similar studies with
depressed children demonstrated equal benefit.
Subsequent studies were performed using 5-HTP for anxiety,
panic disorder, sleep difficulties and obesity. In his
research R.S. Kahn observed an obvious decline in anxiety
symptoms when supplementing with 5-HTP, and patients with
panic disorder noticed a feeling of relief after receiving
5-HTP. Melatonin, which helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle,
is a metabolite of serotonin. Early research studies show that
supplementing with 5-HTP may have positive effects on sleep
patterns. In a six week clinical study with obese patients,
those supplemented with 5-HTP were able to reduce carbohydrate
intake, and experienced a feeling of early satiety, which
contributed to significant weight loss.
