5-HTP
(5-Hydroxytryptophan )
Colorado Nutrition
What is 5-HTP for
and why should I use it?
5-Htp is an
essential amino acid that is critical for the formation of many life-giving
bio-molecules, including structural proteins, enzymes, and the
neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.
5-Htp is also the
least abundant amino acid in our diet. Because of this, 5-Htp is widely
used to correct mental and bodily disorders such as Depression, Obesity,
Alcoholism, PMS, Anxiety, Panic, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Migraines,
Aggressiveness, Weight Loss, Food Cravings, Etc., all of which can be caused by
serotonin deficiency.
The truth about Serotonin, 5-Htp & your
body:
Serotonin levels in the
brain effect how we feel on a day to day basis. When serotonin levels are low,
irregular, or spiking, the body reacts to these changes causing disorders like
the list above. For years doctors have prescribed SSRI's (Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitors) to try to correct these problems. For the most part the
SSRI's were ineffective because of their lack to replace the mind's serotonin.
In the body, 5-Htp converts to serotonin. When this essential amino acid
is taken properly, serotonin levels will balance out and normalize helping to
correct the vast number of disorders caused by the lack of this amino acid.
Natural Anti-depressant and 5-Hydroxy L-
Tryptophan:
Depression results, in part, from the lack of
serotonin, a brain nuerotransmitter. The leading antidepressants are selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, they
increase the serotonin available to stimulate serotonin receptors. These include
Prozac¨, Zoloft¨, Paxil¨, and Effexor¨. While they may be very effective for the
treatment of depression, they are not without side effects, including the loss
of sex drive. I would think it pretty depressing if you lost your sex drive?
They are also expensive, and only available by prescription.
