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.

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.
