Don't Drug Yourself To Sleep
5-HTP SeroTonic II
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a naturally occurring
substance derived from the seed pods of Griffonia simplicifolia, a West
African medicinal plant. In humans, 5-HTP is the immediate nutrient precursor
to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). Serotonin has many profoundly
important functions, including a role in sleep, appetite, memory, learning,
temperature regulation, mood, sexual behavior, cardiovascular function,
muscle contraction, and endocrine regulation.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH SEROTONIN DEFICIENCY?
Serotonin production declines with age, and at any age its abundance can
be compromised further by stress. Low levels of serotonin are most commonly
manifested by depressed mood, anxiety, and insomnia. They can also lead
to various other complaints and disorders, diminishing one's quality of
life. But now something can be done: supplementing with 5-HTP.
5-HTP can restore Serotonin levels and help improve:
General Mood
Depression
Anxiety
Insomnia
Weight Loss
PMS
Chronic Headaches
Migraines
Fibromyalgia

5-HTP SEROTONIC II FOR ENHANCED MOOD
5-HTP SeroTonic II is a mood-enhancing formulation containing primarily
5-HTP, a form of vitamin B6, and St. John's wort. 5-HTP SeroTonic II is
designed to counteract age-related serotonin depletion and to provide
general mood enhancement. Because it supports healthy serotonin levels,
it may help those who are subject to mild to moderate depression. In addition,
it may help with any of the other disorders discussed above. When combined
judiciously with 5-HTP, St. John's wort acts synergistically, i.e., the
combined effect of the two ingredients is greater than the sum of their
individual effects. Other uses for
5-HTP SeroTonic II are for improved wound healing, anti-inflammatory
effects, antimicrobial activity, sinusitis relief, seasonal affective
disorder (SAD), and, especially, relief from depression.
