[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.

Use Turmeric Before Ever Swallowing Ibuprofen Again!

Whether it is a headache, back pain, joint pain or almost any other body ache, millions of people turn to drugs such as Advil or Motrin to help ease the pain. Most of us probably start out with the recommended amount, but when it does not seem to support, popping a few more is common practice. So common, in fact, that the FDA has ramped up its warnings about the risk of these drugs and their role in causing heart attacks and strokes.

Other drugs included in the warning were Celebrex, Aleve, Naprosyn, and Toredol. These drugs have some serious side effects, and it is estimated that they cause at least 16,000 deaths per year and send 100,000 people to the emergency room in the United States. The FDA cautions us to never take more than the recommended amount of non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They also caution that no one should ever take two NSAIDs at the same time with the same active ingredients.

The FDA is now requiring manufacturers of prescription NSAIDs to update their labels with more accurate information about heart attack and stroke risks. The most common problems these drugs cause are digestive ulcers and associated bleeding. Studies have also shown increased risk of other conditions, including atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats rapidly and becomes weak, kidney damage, and delayed healing of fractures and soft tissue injuries. Newer evidence, which led to these stronger warnings from the FDA, shows that even taking the drugs at their recommended doses for a short period of time can have serious side effects.

These drugs do not sound like much of a solution anymore, do they? If only there were a way to treat aches and pains naturally, without all of the dangerous health risks associated with drugs.

Here’s the good news: there is a much better, safer and more natural way to help relieve pain and inflammation, and you may already have it in your home.

Turmeric has been known as a natural pain reliever for years and is effective without the serious side effects. The spice contains polyphenol, which has been shown to have hundreds of health benefits!

A study published in the Alternative and Complementary Medicine Journal concluded that turmeric can be used as an effective alternative to ibuprofen for osteoarthritis. The spice has anti-inflammatory properties and modifies immune system responses. A supplemental study showed that turmeric was even more effective in preventing inflammation. Turmeric is not only safe, effective and natural, but it is also easily accessible and affordable.

The list of uses for turmeric is almost endless. It can be used for arthritis, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, liver problems, gallbladder disorders and more. The anti-inflammatory power of turmeric comes from its main active ingredient, curcumin, which is a very potent antioxidant that helps to fight inflammation. The most effective way to take turmeric is through an extract, which simplifies the absorption process, but you can also use the root.

The next time you are experiencing pain or find yourself with a pounding headache, skip the bottle of pills and reach for some turmeric instead. You’ll get the pain relief you need, without the possibility of experiencing side effects that are dangerous to your health.
