How to Take 5Htp for Weight Loss

Overview

Taking 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, may lead to reduced appetite or mild weight loss in some people, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Five-HTP is a chemical that the body makes from tryptophan. The body converts tryptophan into 5-HTP, then 5-HTP into serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood, behavior and appetite. Five-HTP is not found in foods; it can be found in supplement form. The supplement 5-HTP is obtained from an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia.

Step 1

Talk to your health care provider about whether to take 5-HTP and what dosage to take. Your doctor can help you decide if 5-HTP is right for you.

Step 2

Reduce calories to lose weight. 5-HTP may help decrease your appetite, which will help you to reduce calories.

Step 3

Begin an exercise regimen, or increase the amount of exercise you're currently doing. 5-HTP won't cause you to lose weight unless you burn more calories than you consume.

Step 4

Alert your doctor to any medical conditions you have. If you have certain medical conditions, including Parkinson's disease, cancer, lung disease, liver disease, severe allergies, myalgia, edema, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, pregnancy, autoimmune diseases or peripheral neuropathy, you should not be taking 5-HTP, according to MayoClinic.com.

Step 5

Tell your doctor other medications you are taking. Your doctor can alert you if any of these medications will interact with 5-HTP. Some drugs that may interact include anti-depressants, weight loss drugs, anti-Parkinson's medications, tranquilizing medications, antihistamines, intravenous drugs, cancer chemotherapy or antibiotic medications.

Step 6

Take less than 100 mg per day unless a physician directs you otherwise, recommends MayoClinic.com. Too much 5-HTP can be dangerous.

5-HTP 100 mg - 180 Vegetarian Capsules

Product Number: 2763

Description: Enhances brain serotonin

Supplementation with 5-HTP encourages brain serotonin levels that can lead to positive effects on emotional well-being, appetite control, and sleep/wake cycles.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an intermediate in the natural synthesis of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, to serotonin. The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase adds a hydroxyl group (OH) to tryptophan, forming the 5-HTP intermediate. In the body, it converts to serotonin with the removal of a carboxyl group (COOH) by a second enzyme. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of endocrine and brain activity responsible for emotion, appetite and sleep/wake cycles. In clinical studies, administration of 5-HTP supported serotonin production. The 5-HTP supplied in this supplement is derived from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.

Directions/Recommended: As a dietary supplement, two to four (2-4) capsules daily in divided doses between meals, or more as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Meridian Naturals 5-HTP

Meridian Naturals 5-HTP is manufactured in a GMP compliant facility and is put under strict testing before packaging. Meridian Naturals 5-HTP is sourced from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.

Meridian Naturals 5-HTP contains 100 mg of what is known as 5-Hydroxytryptophan, which links the amino acid tryptophan to the chemical messenger in the brain, serotonin. Tryptophan quickly turns to 5-HTP in the brain. 5-HTP, in turn, rapidly becomes serotonin, a compound that plays a large role in controlling mood, appetite, and sleep cycles.

Meridian Naturals 5-HTP 100 mg size is your best choice:

Peak "X" Free - tested for impurities
Vegetarian Formula - vegetarian formula and capsules
Supports mood - a natural alternative
Supports a good night's rest - without sluggishness

L-5-hydroxy Tryptophan 100 mg

L-5-hydroxy Tryptophan 100 mg




from Solaray Vitamins. Solaray L-5-hydroxy Tryptophan 100 mg is special combination of natural L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Recent clinical studies have indicated that the use of L-5-HTP increases the absorption of serotonin in the brain. Vitamin B-6 works uniquely as a cofactor for enzymes that convert L-tryptophan into serotonin. The Vitamin C, meanwhile, works to catalyze the hydroxylation or tryptophan to serotonin. This product is also specially coated to bypass stomach enzymes that would prematurely convert L-5-HTP to serotonin.

The L-5-HTP contained in this product is a natural extract of the Griffonia. I tis not produced synthetically or by fermentation.

Best 5-HTP(100 mg - 60 vcaps) from Doctor's Best. Brighten Your Mood and Promote Sound, Restful Sleep

5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan) is a naturally occurring metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. 5-HTP is converted in the brain to serotonin, a neurotransmitter substance found at the junctions (synapses) between neurons. 5-HTP helps maintain mental and emotional well-being and promotes healthy sleep. Doctors Best 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant.*

Serotonin in the central nervous system is recognized as a causative factor in some depressed persons.6,7 A comprehensive review of seven open and seven controlled clinical studies found that oral consumption of 5-HTP improved mental and emotional status in 60 to 70 percent of depressed people. The results varied from "modest" to "marked."8 Dosages ranged from 50 to 300 mg daily.

A more recent randomized double-blind study compared the efficacy of oral 5-HTP (100 mg three times daily, without a decarboxylase inhibitor) to that of fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.10 (SSRIs block the reabsorption of serotonin by postsynaptic receptors, thus increasing the available supply of serotonin in the synaptic cleft.) The two were found to be equally effective, and 5-HTP was better tolerated. It should be noted that 5-HTP was given in the form of enteric-coated pH-sensitive capsules which dissolve in the small intestine, thus preventing conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin in the stomach.

In contrast to MAO inhibitors and SSRIs, medications which act by blocking normal physiologic functions, 5-HTP supports normal function in its role as a serotonin precursor. Correcting serotonin deficiency has been called a "functional-dimensional approach" in the treatment of depression.

Studies have shown that 5-HTP influences the quality of sleep by increasing REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Administration of 5-HTP in the evening prior to bedtime has been shown to increase the duration of REM sleep and decrease the amount of non-REM sleep.

5-HTP (100mg 60 caplets)

5-HTP(100mg 60 caplets)




5-HTP
(100mg 60 caplets) from Natural Factors. How can it help with depression? There is excellent documentation that 5-HTP is an effective antidepressant agent. 5-HTP often produces very good results in patients who are unresponsive to standard antidepressant drugs. More patients in a double-blind study responded to 5-HTP than fluvoxamine and 5-HTP was quicker acting than the fluvoxamine. The real advantage of 5-HTP in this study was the low rate of side effects. The most frequent side effect with 5-HTP was mild nausea, but this only occurred in less than one out of ten subjects. However, enteric coated caplets virtually eliminated any nausea

Fibromyalgia is a recently recognized disorder regarded as a common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. 5-HTP can largely improve the painful picture of fibromyalgia as demonstrated in several double-blind studies. Because chronic headache sufferers have low levels of serotonin in their tissues, some researchers refer to migraine and chronic headaches as a "low serotonin syndrome". There have been several clinical studies with 5-HTP in headaches, both migraine and tension headaches, that have showed excellent results. In particular, 5-HTP is very effective in the prevention of migraine headache.

Several clinical studies have shown 5-HTP to produce good results in promoting and maintaining sleep in normal subjects as well as those experiencing insomnia. One of the 5-HTP's key benefits in the treatment of insomnia is its ability to increase sleep quality.

Many people may be predisposed to being overweight because they have a decreased conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP and, as a result, decreased serotonin levels. By providing preformed 5-HTP, this genetic defect is bypassed and more serotonin is manufactured. 5-HTP literally turns off hunger.

Benefits

Depression: quick acting, few side effects
Helps to promote and maintain sleep
May help migraines due to low serotonin levels
Fibromyalgia: studies show good results
Helps promote a feeling of fullness for healthy weight loss

Ingredients
Each caplet contains:
5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia) extract (seed) ........100 mg
Dosage
1 caplet 1 to 2 times daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.
Contraindications

5-HTP can worsen Parkinson s disease symptoms unless the person is also on the drug Sinemet.
Because 5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin, it should not be used by individuals taking antidepressant drugs unless under the direct supervision of a health care practitioner.
Although 5-HTP has been used safely in combination with prescription antidepressant drugs in clinical studies, taking this combination without medical supervision could result in too much serotonin in the body. The result is a condition known as the serotonin syndrome, which is characterized by confusion, fever, shivering, sweating, diarrhea, and muscle spasms. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use.
5-HTP may antagonize the effects of drugs used in migraine headaches like methysergide and cyproheptadine that block serotonin effects.

Additional Information
Children: Suitable for children at a dosage of 5 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight.

Pregnancy and Nursing: Do not use 5-HTP if you are pregnant or nursing.

Seniors: No special precautions are known.

hypnotoad102's Full Review: Natrol 5-Htp (100mg) 30 Capsules
From the ages of eight to eighteen, I suffered from chronic anxiety attacks. These attacks would leave me mentally destroyed, and physically weakened for what seemed like weeks at a time, and nothing I took provided relief. One day, my aunt, who had recently suffered from a mental breakdown, suggested that I try 5-HTP for my attacks. Sure enough, when the next attack came, I took a single pill of the 5-HTP, and within an hour felt 1000x better. All the physical and mental issues that came with the panic subsided immediately, and I was left feeling calm and clear-headed. It does not completely numb your feelings like an anti-depressant may do either, it simply calms you down, and leaves you able to think clearly and able to manage all the negative feelings that come with anxiety attacks. I love this product greatly for the relief it has given me, and its availability and quick acting effects. My only warning is to be careful how many Mg you take at a time, otherwise you may feel nauseous.

ATTENTION! TM

ATTENTION! is a beneficial nutritional supplement in a unique delivery system designed to meet the needs of children with attention-behavior related problems (such as hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattentiveness) (1).* These symptoms can cause long term problems in learning, socialization, and behavior for those afflicted and put them at risk for serious psychopathology in adulthood (2).* The direct causes are still unknown, however, neurochemical imbalances (3),* nutritional deficiencies (4),* food allergies (5),* hypoglycemia (6),* poor eating habits (7),* artificial food additives, preservatives (8,9)* and environmental chemicals (10)* have been implicated. Unfortunately, the most popular medical treatments available are central nervous system stimulants. According to the Physicians Desk Reference®, these medications may produce addictive tendencies and harmful side effects such as nervousness, insomnia, tachycardia and loss of appetite.

Nutritional Alternatives

Consisting of essential fatty acids, phospholipids, specific vitamins, minerals and herbs, this combination of nutrients is the ultimate nutritional supplement for children with behavior and learning problems. According to research, the individual nutrients in this formula have been shown to enhance neurologic function and learning capabilities as well as assisting in moderating blood sugar changes.

Fatty acids and Phospholipids

Essential fatty acids (EFA‘s) are vital for human growth and optimum neurological develop-ment (11).* Humans lack the necessary enzymes to produce these fatty acids so we must get them from the diet or through supplementation. One EFA that has generated successful research results is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid formed from alpha-linolenic acid or obtained directly from fish oils. DHA has been shown to be essential for proper brain function and development (12,13).* Several studies have looked at the relationship between DHA and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Investigators at Purdue University reported that serum and red blood cell concentrations of DHA were significantly lower in boys with attention/behavioral problems than those boys considered normal (14).* In a study of individuals that suffer from reading complications, British researchers reported marked improvements in reading ability and behavior when adult patients were supplemented with DHA (15).*

Phosphatidylserine (PS)

A naturally occurring phospholipid found in the brain, PS influences a number of metabolic and pharmacologic functions (16).* Numerous studies have documented the impact of PS on specific brain neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Many researchers agree that these neurochemical systems are involved in behavior and cognitive function. Several studies have shown a significant improvement in behavior, concentration, attention and memory when patients supplement with PS daily (17).*

Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies have been implicated in mental performance (18).* Several studies have shown the importance of the B vitamins (folic acid, B-6, and B-12) for behavioral changes, depression and personality disorders. Scientists at Baylor University Medical Center reported that B-12 and folic acid deficiencies could alter neurotransmitter function and contribute to neurologic and psychiatric conditions (19).* Vitamin B-6, an important coenzyme for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, is required for optimal brain function. Researchers in Spain observed a clinical improvement in behavior and school performance when patients supplemented with B-6 and folic acid (20).* The results of a Canadian study showed adolescents with behavior problems had a striking iron deficiency (21)* while zinc deficiency has also been implicated (22).*

Betaine (trimethylglycine)/Magnesium

Betaine is found commonly in animals and plants such as broccoli and beets. In conjunction with B-vitamins, betaine supplementation has shown to improve behavior and school performance (20).* A recent study revealed hyperactive children had significantly lower blood magnesium than the control group and found it necessary to supplement in order to improve behavior (23).* Several other vital nutrients in this special nutrient combination have been related to mood, mind, memory and behavior problems. DMAE (deanol), tyrosine, glutamic acid, choline and inositol play an important role in neurotransmitter action, with deficiencies possibly contributing to impaired cognitive function.

Moderation of Blood Sugar Changes

There may be an association between excessive sugar consumption and behavior problems. Researchers performed oral glucose tolerance tests on several hundred hyperactive children and found the majority to exhibit abnormal carbohydrate metabolism (24).* Erratic blood sugar concentrations may eventually lead to low blood sugar concentrations. The body responds to the low blood sugar by releasing adrenaline and other hormones, thereby possibly contributing to aberrant and hyperactive behavior. Scientists have discovered excessive refined carbohydrates and sugar consumption may promote the lowering effects of blood sugar concentrations (25).*

This combination incorporates several nutrients designed to help modulate blood sugar. Chromium, a fundamental trace element required for all insulin-regulating activities (26)*, plays a central role in regulating blood sugar (12).* Therefore, deficiencies of chromium can disrupt the normal insulin-glucose relationship contributing to a hypoglycemic condition (27).* Gymnema sylvestre, an herb native to India, has been used in traditional folk medicine for blood sugar related disorders. Animal studies indicate this herb helps to moderate blood sugar by optimizing serum insulin levels (28).* Opuntia streptacantha is a species of nopal prickly pear cactus commonly found in Mexico and other arid lands around the world. Numerous international studies have demonstrated that Opuntia streptacantha has positive effects on cholesterol and can help moderate blood sugar (29).* Alpha-Lipoic acid is an antioxidant produced naturally in the body and is also found in red meat and the leaves of some plants. It functions as a cofactor for a number of important enzymes responsible for the conversion of food to energy (ATP). Clinical experiments have shown lipoic acid to help moderate blood sugar levels by increasing cellular uptake and the burning of glucose (30).*
