[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Pure, Organic Cacao from the Rainforest

Through nutritional analysis, we are learning and naming over 300 chemical compounds at play in cacao. We are exploring their psychochemical effects on us — our central nervous systems, our bodies, minds and moods.

Antioxidant Rich:
Cocoa beans are rich in specific antioxidants such as catechins and epicatechins, the antioxidants found in green tea, as well as flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and polyphenols, the antioxidants found in red wine and grape seeds.

A Healthy Cardiovascular System:
Many studies published in the past few years have revealed the health-promoting properties of cacao, especially on the cardiovascular system. One study concluded that cocoa powder and dark chocolate favorably affect cardiovascular disease risk status by modestly reducing LDL oxidation susceptibility, and increasing serum total antioxidant capacity and HDL-cholesterol concentrations.

Improved Concentration and Mood:
Take pure dark chocolate to increase concentration and elevate mood. Cacao is also a unique source of the biogenic amine phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is known as the molecule of love. When taken orally, it increases attention and concentration, and elevates mood.

Organic Chocolate Infused with 11 Powerful Rainforest Botanicals

Chocamaca is more than a great-tasting, healthy chocolate. It contains 11 other unique ingredients to provide your body with an enjoyable source of concentrated nutrients from wild, whole foods. These powerful botanicals provide energy, boost your immune system, support a healthy heart and so much more. Here’s what else you’ll find in each delicious ball of Chocamaca:

Kiwicha — promotes good cardiovascular health*
Maca — supports energy*
Muira Puama — supports nervous system*
Suma — supports hormonal balance*
Camu Camu — provides high concentration of natural vitamin C*
Blue-Green Algae — helps boost your immune system*
Catuaba — supports increased libido*
Jatoba — supports endurance and overall strength*

Canela — provides invigoration*

Low in Calories and Fat

Compared to other chocolates and candy, Chocamaca is low in calories and fat. If chocolate has a bad reputation as far as health is concerned, it is strictly because of the refined white sugar commercial chocolate contains. Otherwise, pure cacao is a rich source of antioxidants which support a healthy heart, help reduce harmful cholesterol and boost the immune system. Add 11 nutritious herbs, and you have a deliciously healthy treat!

Amazon Herb Company’s Chocamaca goes a big step further in rejoining chocolate with traditional herbs and grains from its original bioregion, then molding them into small spheres reminiscent of Tibetan herb balls.

What is it about chocolate that would make 50% of women reportedly claim to prefer chocolate to sex?
Yes, most chocolate contains some sugar. But chocolate clearly delivers far more than a brief sugar high. Remove the refined white sugar and we move closer to the bitter herb of its origin.

What is it we love so much in chocolate?
Could it be chocolate’s tryptophan, the essential amino acid that enhances serotonin function, hence diminishing anxiety? Theobromine may be the Aztecs’ agent against mental stupor. Or perhaps chocolate’s key to our hearts is its phenylethylamine (PEA) content. Phenylethylamine, commonly called the “love molecule,” is a natural chemical suspected of causing the euphoria experienced by lovers.

PEA’s presence in wild blue-green algae, another ingredient in Chocamaca, may explain the increased energy, enhanced mental clarity and pervasive upbeat optimism experienced by algae eaters.
