Theanine 100 mg 60 caps Promotes Relaxation & Learning Ability.

Theanine 100 is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism. Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves. Theanine may improve learning ability and sensations of pleasure by affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain. Also, Theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by antagonizing glutamate toxicity.*

Theanine 100 is made enzymatically from amino acids and is identical to the theanine found in green tea.

Phosphatidylserine PS-100 120 caps. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural phospholipid that is an essential component of cell membranes. Cogni-PS™ promotes brain function by increasing neuronal membrane fluidity (cell-to-cell communication), resulting in improved cognition. Also, Cogni-PS protects against stress by mitigating the actions of cortisol (catabolic stress hormone.) Consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia in the elderly and may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly.

Phosphatidylserine has been demonstrated to speed up recovery, prevent muscle soreness, improve well-being, and might possess ergogenic properties in athletes involved in cycling, weight training and endurance running. PS has been reported to be an effective supplement for combating exercise-induced stress by blunting the exercise-induced increase in cortisol levels.

Cogni-PS is a concentrated form of phosphatidylserine derived from an enzymatic process of soy phospholipids. Keep out of the reach of children.

Healthy Origins 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) 100mg 120 capsules
Click here for supplement facts

Healthy Origins® 5-HTP is a naturally occurring standardized extract of Griffonia simplicifolia containing greater than 99% pure 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Extracts of Griffonia simplicifolia have been used traditionally in African medicine to inhibit diarrhea, vomiting and constipation, and as an aphrodisiac. 5-HTP is a precursor of serotonin (5-HT).

The diverse physiological functions of serotonin in the body include actions as a neurotransmitter, a regulator of smooth muscle function in the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system, and a regulator of platelet function. Serotonin is involved in numerous central nervous system actions such as regulating mood, sleep and appetite. In the gastrointestinal system, serotonin stimulates gastric motility. Serotonin also stimulates platelet aggregation.

As a precursor of serotonin, 5-HTP helps to normalize serotonin activity in the body. Considerable research has been conducted regarding the activity of 5-HTP. Some of the clinical studies are summarized below:

MOOD - Dysregulation of serotonin metabolism in the central nervous system has been shown to affect mood. 5-HTP helps to normalize serotonin levels and, thereby positively affect mood. In a double-blind study using objective assessments of mood, researchers in Zurich reported significant improvements in mood with 5-HTP. 1 Likewise, in a double-blind, multi-center study in Germany, researchers reported significant improvements in both objective and self-assessment indices of mood. 2

SLEEP - Many studies have shown that depletion of serotonin results in insomnia, which is reversed by administration of 5-HTP. Likewise, Soulairac and Lambinet3 reported that 100mg of 5-HTP resulted in significant improvement for people who complained of trouble sleeping. Furthermore, serotonin is metabolized to the hormone melatonin, which is known to help regulate the sleep cycle, by increasing serotonin levels with 5-HTP, melatonin levels are also increased.

APPETITE - Food intake is thought to suppress appetite through the production of serotonin from the amino acid tryptophan. Because it is an intermediary in the conversion process of tryptophan to serotonin, 5-HTP may reduce appetite in a similar manner as food intake, but without the calories. In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects taking 5-HTP lost significant weight compared to control subjects. A reduction in carbohydrate intake and early satiety were seen in the 5-HTP group.4

5-HTP 100mg neurotransmitte

5-HTP 100mg




5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is produced in the body from the amino acid tryptophan and is involved in nervous system health.1 It is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, sleeping patterns, appetite, sexuality, and emotional states such as anger and aggression.2,3 5-HTP increases serotonin levels in the brain, which can help promote a calm mood and healthy sleep patterns.4

Unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, making it effective for increasing serotonin levels in the central nervous system. Oral doses of 5-HTP are well-absorbed into the blood stream because it is not affected by other amino acids in digestion and it does not need a specific transport molecule.5

Supplementing with 5-HTP may:

Help regulate appetite
Improve mood
Assist in maintaining healthy sleep patterns

Vitamin B6 works with 5-HTP to create serotonin.6 If you are taking a B vitamin supplement, such as our B-Complex, you may wish to take the two products at the same time to optimize effectiveness.

Dosage: Take one or more capsule(s) daily, preferably on an empty stomach. To aid in sleep, take at bedtime.

Ray & Terry’s 5-HTP, 100 mg contains 60 vegetarian capsules per bottle.

5 Htp 100mg

5 Htp 100mg




In the body, (5-hydroxytryptophan), is synthesized from tryptophan and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in the brain, blood platelets, and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Since serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system it has many implications in cognition, mental health and sleep patterns*. Supplementation of 5-HTP has shown a distinct ability to increase serotonin levels*. Since the FDA restricts the availability of tryptophan, many research scientists have discovered that 5-HTP compares favorably in modulating serotonin levels. This product is an extract from a natural plant seed and not from fermented tryptophan.

WARNING: Do not use with MAO inhibitors or other antidepressants
