Clinically Effective

Clinical studies of 5-htp regarding depressionas a Prozac alternative, weight control,fibromyalgia and headaches.

Now there is a safe and natural alternative to drugs like Prozac^®. These drugs work by increasing the serotonin level in the brain. A natural method for producing this same result was sought and found in 5HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan).

5-HTP, the immediate precursor to serotonin, is effectively absorbed into the bloodstream and readily passes the blood-brain barrier, to promote optimal serotonin balance in the brain.* 5-HTP was found to be superior to L-Tryptophan in this respect due to its being a step closer chemically to serotonin.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is absolutely essential for your brain and body to function properly. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that carries vital signals between cells. A lack of serotonin will cause these signals to not transmit properly. Serotonin is an especially important neurotransmitter in that it governs the activities of many other important brain compounds. Low levels of serotonin can have dramatic adverse effects and has been implicated in maladies ranging from depression to fibromyalgia and insomnia.

5-HTP may very well revolutionize the treatment of serotonin-related emotional and physical conditions. It has been used effectively in Europe for decades. In recent clinical studies, therapeutic administration of 5-HTP was confirmed effective in treating depression, fibromyalgia, binge eating, chronic headaches, and insomnia.*

In this site, we explore information, including clinical studies, related to the association of 5-HTP to each of these life-altering maladies.
