[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.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp clarified butter, also known as ghee (or regular butter) (For vegan recipe use earth balance butter alternative)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp curry powder or paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp fresh, finely chopped ginger
2 cans (30 oz.) pumpkin puree or fresh pumpkin
1 quart vegetable stock
1 can coconut cream

GARNISH OPTIONS:
lime
chopped parsley
pumpkin seeds
avocado
sour cream or creme fresh
cooked bacon bits

DIRECTIONS:
On medium heat, sweat out the onion and garlic in the clarified butter, about 2-3 minutes. Then add in all of your seasoning and mix together, coating the onions in the seasoning. Next add in the ginger and pumpkin puree (or fresh chopped pumpkin), and cook for another minute.
NOTE: If you use fresh pumpkin, you’re going to need to sauté the pumpkin longer, until it’s soft enough to poke it with a fork.
Then add in the vegetable stock and coconut cream, and bring it up to a simmer. Let it cook for about ten more minutes, to infuse all of the flavors and it’s ready to serve. Garnish with desired toppings
