Although 5-HTP may be relatively new to the United
States health food industry, it has been available through pharmacies for
several years and has been intensely researched for the past three decades.
It has been available in several European countries as a medicine since the
1970s.
Cautions:
This product should not be consumed by children or by pregnant or lactating
women. Some may experience diarrhea, gastrointestinal (GI) upset while
taking this product which usually disappears by reducing dosage. This is
much more prevalent in capsule form as the spray absorbs sublingually. As
with any supplement, if discomfort persists discontinue use. The sufferings
from disorders such as ulcers, irritable bowel disease, Crohn's disease,
celiac disease, should not use 5-HTP capsules. Those using MAO-inhibiters,
antidepressants and drugs containing fenfluramine should not use 5-HTP. May
cause drowsiness. |

Regenesis, The World's First Oral Spray
Growth Hormone company announces 5-HTP Oral Spray.
A GH complimentary product with 5-HTP that will
accelerate and accentuate your results while using Regenesis Pro 500 and
Regenesis Plus. 5-HTP (5-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan) is used by the human body to
make serotonin, an important substance for normal nerve and brain function.
Serotonin appears to play significant roles in sleep, emotional moods, pain
control, inflammation.
Description: 5-HTP (5-hydroxy L-tryptophan)
is a naturally occurring metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. 5-HTP is
converted in the brain to serotonin, a nuerotransmitter substance found at
the junctions (synapses) between nuerons. 5-HTP helps maintain mental and
emotional well-being and promotes healthy sleep

Overview
Depression - There are several studies
where 5-HTP was compared directly to antidepressant drugs. 5-HTP is equal to
or better than standard antidepressant drugs and the side effects are much
less severe. The study with the most significance was one that compared to
fluvoxamine, a "selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor" like Prozac, Paxil,
and Zoloft. In the study, subjects received either 5-HTP (100 mg) or
fluvoxamine (50 mg) three times daily for 6 weeks. The percentage decrease
in overall depression scores was slightly better in the 5-HTP group (60.7%
vs. 56.1%). More patients responded to 5-HTP than fluvoxamine and 5-HTP was
quicker acting than the fluvoxamine. The real advantage of 5-HTP in this
study was the low rate of side effect.
Sleep/Insomnia - Several clinical studies
have shown 5-HTP to produce good results in promoting and maintaining sleep
in normal subjects as well as those experiencing insomnia. One of the key
benefits with 5-HTP in the treatment of insomnia is its ability to increase
sleep quality.
Migraines - Because chronic headache
sufferers have low levels of serotonin in their tissues, some researchers
refer to migraine and chronic headaches as a "low serotonin syndrome". There
have been several clinical studies with 5-HTP in headaches, both migraine
and tension headaches, that have showed excellent results. In particular,
the use of 5-HTP in the prevention of migraine headache offers considerable
advantages over drug therapy.
Fibromyalgia - Migraine headaches and
fibromyalgia share a common feature: both are low serotonin syndromes. After
over 25 years of research, one of the lead researchers has stated that "In
our experience, as well as in that of other pain specialists, 5-HTP can
largely improve the painful picture of primary fibromyalgia". Double-blind
studies support this contention
Dosage/Usage - For depression, weight
loss, headaches, and fibromyalgia the dosage should be started between 25mg
twice daily and 50mg three times per day.
Why Spray vs. Pills - The main side
effects of 5-HTP are gastrointestinal in nature. Oral (sublingual)
absorption bypasses the GI tract, eliminating the majority of these effects.
Summary - 5-HTP (5-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan)
is used by the human body to make serotonin, an important substance for
normal nerve and brain function. Serotonin appears to play significant roles
in sleep, emotional moods, pain control, inflammation. 5-HTP is not present
in significant amounts in a typical diet. The human body manufactures 5-HTP
from L-tryptophan, a natural amino acid found in many dietary proteins.
However, eating food that contains L-tryptophan does not significantly
increase 5-HTP levels. Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally derived from the
seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African medicinal plant.

5-HTP
Oral Spray
5-Hydroxytryptophan
(5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the
intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical
serotonin. There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low
serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle
and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era
results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. As a result, many
people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts
of depression, get frequent headaches, and have vague muscle aches and pain.
All of these maladies may be correctable by raising brain serotonin levels.
The primary therapeutic applications for 5-HTP are low serotonin states as:
Depression
Obesity
Carbohydrate craving
Bulimia
Insomnia
Narcolepsy
Sleep apnea
Migraine headaches
Tension headaches
Chronic daily headaches
Premenstrual syndrome
Fibromyalgia |
