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.

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).*

Lamberts 5-HTP 100mg

Lamberts 5-HTP is a natural extract from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia.

Typically per tablet:

L-5-Hydroxytrytophan 100mg

(natural extract from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia)



Tableted with:
DiCalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Cellulose, Tablet Coating (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Colour: Titanium Dioxide, Glycerin), Silicon Dioxide, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate.



5-Hydroxytryptophan is the immediate precursor of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter regulating numerous important bodily functions, in particular brain and nerve function.

Approximately 70% of oral 5-HTP is converted to serotonin, compared with around 3% of L-tryptophan.

Serotonin may be converted in the body to melatonin, important in regulating the sleep-wake cycle.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan or 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan) is a natural supplement that converts in the brain into serotonin.

Serotonin is an important brain chemical involved in mood, behaviour, appetite, and sleep.

Serotonin is known as 5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and is found in many places in the body particularly the brain, gastrointestinal system, and blood cells.



Benefits

This information gleaned from Ray Sahelian, M.D.
"Some people who take 5-HTP notice improved mood, decrease in appetite, reduced anxiety, and better sleep. I have come across some individuals who get wired instead of sleepy when taking 5-HTP.



Some find that 5-HTP helps curb appetite and leads to weight loss. This nutrient could be used temporarily for appetite suppression while other lifestyle and dietary changes are being incorporated regarding a life long plan for keeping weight off. Not everyone notices the appetite suppressing effect from 5-HTP.

5-HTP may be temporarily helpful in conditions that normally require prescription antidepressants, anti-anxiety agents, sleeping pills, and weight loss drugs.



5-HTP may also be helpful in some individuals with migraine headaches and fibromyalgia.

5-HTP reduces the severity of a panic attack which may indicate that panic attacks may be due to low serotonin levels.

A study in rodents indicates that 5-HTP may be useful in controlling the excessive food intake sometimes generated by stress, even if given without decarboxylase inhibitors or other drugs."

5-HTP – Raise Serotonin Levels in the Brain Naturally 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid made in the body from tryptophan and converted to serotonin, an important brain chemical. Raising brain levels of serotonin through 5-HTP supplements may positively impact sleep, mood, anxiety, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior and pain sensations. Why Serotonin Levels Are Important 5-HTP may be beneficial for supporting a variety of conditions associated with low serotonin levels. Depression may result from low serotonin levels. Because of this, many anti-depressant medications work to raise serotonin levels. In studies of people with mild to moderate depression, 5-HTP may be as effective as some medications at improving mood, anxiety, insomnia, and physical symptoms.

The pain, stiffness, and fatigue of fibromyalgia may be impacted by a number of factors but studies show low serotonin may play a role in the development of fibromyalgia. Individuals with fibromyalgia taking 5-HTP saw improvements in sleep and a reduction of pain, stiffness and depression.

Other research shows patients suffering with insomnia may benefit from 5-HTP supplementation. Taking it before bedtime may induce sleepiness and delay waking up. Studies of overweight men and women, both with and without diabetes, suggested 5-HTP supplements promoted the feeling of satiety (fullness). This led to a decrease in food intake and subsequent weight loss.

In addition to 5-HTP our formula includes Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. These vitamins are important for optimizing the effects of 5-HTP.

What is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)?


Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is major neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS). This neurotransmitter appears to have a significant influence on the pituitary gland’s hormone secretion, primarily through its hypothalamic effect.*


GABA is also the most important and widespread inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps prevent the over-firing of the nerve cells and decreases overall neuron activities in the CNS.* Over-firing can cause restlessness, spasmodic movements, irritability and anxiety.*


GABA is also utilized by the brain to create tranquility and calmness through the brain’s metabolic processes.*



How does GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) support health?

Can promote healthy sleep.*
Supports smooth involuntary movement.*
Supports a relaxed state of mind.*
Supports healthy resting growth hormone release after exercise.*
Low levels of GABA may impact mental health in a negative way.*

Why choose NSI GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)?

Non-habit-forming and non-drowsy formula.*
Each bottle contains 100 two-capsule servings.
Extraordinary quality.

5-HTP Power

5-HTP Power
BENEFITS
• Improves sleep quality and duration.
• Supports the nervous system and enhances mood.
• May help decrease feelings of hunger.
HOW IT WORKS
5-HTP Power supports the nervous system by
promoting the production of serotonin. The body
converts 5-HTP into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter
responsible for mood, hunger and sleep.
NSP ADVANTAGE
• NSP is the only company whose 5-HTP product also
contains adaptogenic herbs that support the body
during times of change. All of these herbs have
ginseng-like properties that support the immune
system and speed the body’s recuperative processes.
• Some brands of 5-HTP contain more 5-HTP than our
product, leading some to wonder if 35 mg per capsule
is enough. Because the body excretes excess 5-HTP,
taking 35 mg at each meal is more effective than
taking one or two capsules of a higher potency product
at one time.
• Perhaps NSP’s strongest edge on the competition is the
addition of vitamin B6 and zinc. These two nutrients
prevent the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin
while in the intestinal tract. Without these
nutrients, 5-HTP would be converted to
serotonin before it reached the brain, resulting in
no benefit to the brain.
Buck up … Slim down … Sleep better
… The "power" is yours.
• There is potential for 5-HTP to be contaminated with
a harmful substance known as peak X. NSP’s R&D
team uses the latest technology and state-of-the-art
instruments to ensure that our 5-HTP is free of this
contaminant.
INGREDIENTS
NSP blends its high-quality 5-HTP (hydroxytryptophan)
with three adaptogenic herbs—Eleuthero,
ashwaganda and suma. These herbs nourish the body and
enhance the beneficial effects of 5-HTP. This formula
also includes vitamin B6 and zinc, which strengthen the
bioavailability of 5-HTP.
RECOMMENDED USE
Each capsule contains 35 mg of 5-HTP. Take 1
capsule three times daily with a meal. As a sleep aid,
take 1–3 capsules with your evening meal. NSP
recommends a maximum of 3 capsules per day.
USER CARE
This product should not be taken by anyone using
prescription medication, or by pregnant or nursing women
without first consulting a qualified health-care practitioner.
NSP recommends taking a two-week break if you
desire to use 5-HTP Power for more than three months.

5-HTP Power (60)
No. de stock 2806-4
La alimentación moderna y la
falta de ejercicio incrementa el estrés,
contribuyendo a numerosos problemas
de sueño, ansiedad, depresión y
obesidad.. A causa de que los
fármacos por prescripción a menudo
vienen con efectos secundarios
indeseados, muchas personas buscan
apoyo en los suplementos naturales
saludables.
Gane control sobre su propia vida
con 5-HTP Power. Obtenga la fortaleza necesaria para
mejorar efectivamente su estado anímico, para tener
éxito en la pérdida de peso y para dormir mejor.
5-HTP Power
BENEFICIOS
• Mejora la calidad y duración del sueño.
• Apoya el sistema nervioso y mejora el estado
anímico.
• Puede ayudar a reducir el apetito.
CÓMO FUNCIONA
5-HTP Power apoya el sistema nervioso promoviendo
la producción de serotonina. El organismo convierte 5-
HTP en serotonina, un importante neurotransmisor,
responsable por el estado de ánimo, el apetito y el sueño.
LA VENTAJA DE 5-HTP POWER
• NSP es la única compañía que mejora los resultados de
5-HTP combinándolo con hierbas adaptogénicas que
apoyan al organismo durante la época de cambios. Todas
estas hierbas tienen propiedades similares al ginsén,
apoyan al sistema inmunológico y aceleran los procesos
de recuperación.
• Algunos productos de la competencia contienen mayor
cantidad de 5-HTP que nuestro producto, por lo que
algunas personas se preguntan si 35 mg por cápsula es
suficiente. Como el cuerpo elimina el exceso de 5-HTP, es
más efectivo tomar 35 mg en cada comida que tomar una
o dos cápsulas de una potencia mayor en una sola toma.
• Tal vez la mayor ventaja de NSP con relación a la
competencia es la adición de vitamina B6 y zinc.
Estos dos nutrientes realzan la conversión de 5- HTP
en serotonina en el sistema nervioso central.
Duerma mejor, pierda peso, gane tonicidad
• Existe el potencial de que el 5-htp se contamine con
una substancia conocida en el espectrómetro como
pico X. El Dpto. de Investigación y Desarrollo de
NSP usa la tecnología y los instrumentos más
modernos para asegurar que nuestro 5-HTP esté libre
de este contaminante.
INGREDIENTES
5-HTP de alta calidad (hidroxitriptófano) y tres
yerbas adaptogénicas: eleuthero, ashwaganda y suma.
Estas hierbas nutren el organismo y mejoran los efectos
beneficiosos de 5-HTP. Esta fórmula también incluye
vitamina B6 y zinc, los cuales fortalecen la biodisponibilidad
de 5-HTP.
RECOMENDACIÓN
Para mejorar el ánimo y perder peso, tome 1 cápsula
de 5-HTP Power 3 veces al día con comida. Como apoyo
para mejorar el sueño, tome de 1 a 3 cápsulas con la última
comida del día. No tomar más de 3 cápsulas diarias.
PRECAUCIÓN
Primero consulte con un profesional de la salud si
toma medicamentos por prescripción o si está embarazada
o dando de lactar. Tome un descanso de 2 semanas cada 3
meses si desea tomarlo por períodos prolongados.
