Best Quality 5-htp powder 99%/ 5htp to help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, obesity dieting migraines 500g Free Shipping What is 5-HTP? 5-HTP or "hydroxy L-tryptophane" (5-Hydroxytryphophan) is a naturally-occurring amino acid and is the precursor and metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. 5-HTP is converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT), with the help of vitamin B6. This occurs both in nervous tissue and in the liver. 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier (while 5-HT does not). Supplementation with 5-HTP therefore, increases production of Serotonin. Most 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of a woody climbing shrub native to West Africa, called the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. Widely used to help with obesity (dieting), PMS, migraines, depression, anxiety, insomnia and addictive behavior. 5 HTP increases production of serotonin. Serotonin levels in the nervous system are essential for so many aspects of our daily lives. Serotonin is responsible for feelings of well being, satisfaction and for normal sleep patterns. Obesity, PMS, migraines, depression, anxiety, insomnia and addictive behavior have all been associated with low levels of serotonin. Serotonin plays an important role in controlling anger, aggression, body temperature, mood, sleep, human sexuality, appetite, and metabolism, as well as stimulating vomiting. It is thought the hectic modern lifestyle of stress and bad eating habits lowers serotonin levels in the body. It is known that irritability, aggression, impatience, anxiety and worrying cause the body to release serotonin. This Serotonin then needs to be replenished by the body from the food you eat. But Serotonin is not found in large quantities in most diets so the body has to makes it itself from foods which contain L-tryptophan, such as chocolate, oats, bananas, dried dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, meat, fish, turkey, chicken, sesame, chickpeas, and peanuts. Many people therefore, crave the foods listed (fats and carbohydrates), especially when stressed, causing weight gain, depression, headaches, and muscle aches. Studies have shown that the use of 5-HTP ( Natural Amino Acid 5-Hydroxytryptophan ) may help promote healthy levels of the brain chemical called Serotonin. Imbalances or low levels of Serotonin may be responsible for Mood disorders, Sleep disturbance, Anxiety, Migraine headaches and an increase in appetite, or a craving for food that is high in Carbohydrates and fats, as the body tries to increase the Serotonin levels naturally. Our 5-HTP is extracted from the Griffonia Seed, using a specially developed process that retains as much of the active components of 5-HTP as possible. It is then compressed into an easy to swallow capsule, and each one provides 100mg of 5-HTP (in amino acid form) Research shows that taking a 5-HTP supplement may help to provide a more positive outlook, promote relaxation, calm and give greater appetite control. 5-HTP seems to be most beneficial if taken before bedtime. This product has been formulated by chemists, and manufactured in a UK laboratory, to the highest standards, (GMP standards and ISO 2000:9001 Quality Assurance) It is a FDA and EPA registered facility. We can now offer this item in foil fresh packaging. It is heat sealed for safety making it tamper proof and once opened it is then resealable to maintain freshness. Clinical studies have shown that supplementing with 5-HTP produces positive results in weight loss, anxiety and depression. It improves sleep patterns and reduces carbohydrate cravings in those on low carbohydrate diets (such as The Atkins Diet). Anyone using a weight loss program similar to the Atkins Diet could experience a reduction in serotonin levels due to the fact that carbohydrates stimulate serotonin production in the body. Serotonin release is triggered by a carbohydrate load (sugar etc.) and it is thought that's why we often crave Carbohydrates under stress as we want to stimulate this serotonin release. When the brain produces serotonin, tension is eased. Conversely, when the brain produces dopamine or norepinephrine (noradrenaline), we tend to think and act more quickly and are generally more alert. Therefore eating carbohydrates seems to have a calming effect, while proteins increase alertness. Taking 5-HTP supplements can stop this craving for fats and carbohydrates, as well as providing the body with the means to control all those other functions listed above, such as anger, appetite and sleep. Help with Depression and Anxiety Some research has been done into 5-HTP and shows it has potential to help with depression and possibly anxiety, panic disorder, sleep disorders and obesity. 5-HTP seems to have the same effects as SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors) antidepressants. Prescription drugs that raise serotonin levels are prescribed for all of these problems, but many people believe 5-HTP is a natural way to accomplish the same thing. Dosage For improving sleep, it is widely recommended to take 5-HTP 30 mins before going to bed, as apart from producing Serotonin, 5-HTP also produces Melatonin, which is a sleep-inducing hormone. The usual dosage is either a 50mg or 100mg tablet. The effects of taking 5HTP can be felt within 10 to 30 mins. Try to buy 5-HTP which also contains vitamin B6, as Vit B6 is needed for 5-HTP conversion into serotonin. Much higher doses seem to be required for weight loss and to reduce migraines. Dosages up to around 900mg a day seem to be widely reported. 5-HTP is usually tolerated much better than traditional antidepressants. Excess 5-HTP is thought to be metabolized and excreted, especially when taken with Vitamin B6.

It was recommended by a friend to help with anxiety and sleep problems. I did my research and the reviews were very positive. I have had no side effects and it really works to give me a good nights sleep and keep me ticking over. There are also no nasty withdrawal symptoms if you decide not to take it every day. I have recommended it to a number of friends and they all notice improvements. Highly recommended. Have tried many different brands of 5 htp and have been disappointed with some, even those from companies whose other supplements I have found of good quality. I have found the All Natural version quite potent for helping me sleep, and also in lessening the pain caused by fibromyalgia. On a similar vein, I've found it useful for taking in the daytime when feeling more anxious than usual. A product I whole heartedly recommend! This product has helped me through a very tiring time physically and emotionally looking after 2 young children, balancing work and home life, i couldn't recommend it highly enough, it lifted my mood, helped me focus on the good things in life and helped me to start sleeping more soundly after being awake for long periods with my children.. Very pleased with this brand of 5htp. I have to use this as I have FM it was the best price for the quantity and because it comes in 100mg I only have to take 1 tablet. speed of service was perfect and will order again. It's not the reason I bought it, but if you're looking for something to help you fall asleep of an evening (without nasty side effects) look no further. Pop a couple of these bad boys around dinner time and you'll be snoring on the sofa by 9pm, guaranteed. Fairly effective reliever of the symptoms of S.A.D too...all-in-all recommended, definitely. I have been ordering All Natural's 5-HTP for some time now, and always place a repeat order. The product is effective and excellent value. I have not found any other source of 5-HTP with such good quality and value. Ordered this 5HTP a couple of times now, with great results. I have found that when taking one capsule in the morning and one capsule at night, I seem to be able to cope with the day to day stresses of modern life. I've suffered quite a lot recently with mild depression, and find that the 5HTP helps me get through the day. I've also found that I sleep better at night.
