[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.

Even if your kids don’t have any allergies, chances are that they’re surrounded by kids who do!

I’m Katie from Care.com and with me is Alex Joy, Culinary Center Director of Whole Foods Market in Dedham, Massachusetts. And today we’re going to tackle some very common special diets and allergies, including nuts, gluten, sugar, and dairy, and make some treats and snacks that your kids will love! These treats taste just like the real thing, but they’re made without!

Great! So now we’re going to start with some chocolate pops that are made completely without added sugar. These are cocoa and date truffles, but don’t let that name scare your kids away – they’re delicious and we’re going to cutesy them up! You’ll need: 20 soft dates (pitted), 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut. Add the dates and cocoa into a food processor and process until it becomes a smooth paste. Scoop small bits out with a spoon and roll. Coat them in shred coconut and add a lollipop stick. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Have a dairy allergy or sensitivity? This pudding parfait will kick cream to the curb! Here’s what you’ll need: 1/3 cup chia seeds, 2 tbsp. honey or sweetener, ¼ tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup non-dairy milk or water, bananas and berries (or fresh fruit of your choice). Add the chia seeds, honey and vanilla to non-dairy milk; stir a few minutes until thickened. Layer a bottom of a Mason jar or cup with the pudding. Top with the bananas and berries. Repeat once more and you’re done – yum!

Now we’re going to tackle a sweet treat for those of us with nut allergies! It’s a healthy PB & J soft serve. Yum, let’s get started. You’ll need: 1 bag frozen tropical fruit. 1-2 tbsp. unsweetened rice milk, 3 tbsp. berry preserves, 3 tbsp. creamy SunButter, nut-free cookies, berries, and nut-free cones. In a blender or food processor blend the frozen fruit. Add the rice milk for extra creaminess. Stir in the SunButter and preserves, leaving thick ribbons throughout the soft serve – don’t over mix. Scoop into cones and you can make a face with berries and cookies!

Here’s a perfect vegetarian snack for your little herbivores! The Dino Dip is fiber-rich and delicious. Stick veggies, chips, or crackers in the top and it’s a perfect snack. Here’s what you’ll need: 1 can white beans (rinsed), 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 avocado, ½ lemon, and fresh basil and chopped chives. In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend until very well made and add salt & pepper to taste. Serve with veggie sticks and you’re good to go!

Now we’re making a healthier chicken finger that’s made without gluten. And we’ll use corn flakes for an even better crunch. Here’s what you’ll need: 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into strips), 2 cups corn flakes, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp. chopped parsley, and ketchup for dipping! Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the mustard and mayonnaise in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. In a small food processor, add corn flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine. Pour into a plastic gallon bag. Drop chicken into bag (a few at a time) and shake to coat. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet with a wire rack. Bake for 20 minutes or test for crunch. Serve with ketchup or other sauces on the side.

Why it Works for
F21 is an All Natural Sugar Blocker that helps limit your blood sugar absorption. It consists of different compounds found to have various health benefits, such as L-Arabinose, Coriolus Versicolor Polysacchride, Konjac-Mannan, Magnesium Stearate, Mint flavor: Menthol and Natural Colors. F21 not only does it help promote weight loss, (PSK) boosts your immune system response. In fact, for every gram of F21, you can block up to 20 grams of sugar (sucrose). The formula not only helps promote weight loss, it benefits the digestive system by allowing the blocked sucrose to support beneficial probiotic bacteria while the polysaccharide (PSK) boosts your immune system response.
But how does this formula break down the sugar in our bodies? There are basically three steps:
STEP 1
Sugar (sucrose) enters the body as a whole molecule.
STEP 2
The enzyme “sucrose” separates the sucrose molecule into two individual sugar molecules, Glucose and Fructose, which then enter the blood stream to be used. F21 inhibits sucrose from separating the sucrose molecule.
STEP 3
Instead of the sugars entering the blood stream, the whole sucrose molecule and F21 remain in the digestive tract and become prebiotics.
The main ingredient in F21 is L-Arabinose, which helps prevent sugar (sucrose) from being metabolized in the body. It also helps to satisfy any cravings for sugar. Another ingredient, Polysaccharide (PSK), is an extremely powerful antioxidant and immune-regulatory defender. It’s well researched anti-tumor, anti-infection and anti-inflammation effects help repair damaged cells and support the immune system.
Konjac-Mannan is a natural appetite suppressant. It acts as a trigger signaling your stomach to feel a little more satisfied and can help to reduce hunger cravings.
Prebiotics are indigestible fibers that are food for the probiotics. Both F21 and the whole sucrose molecule remain in the large intestine and become food for probiotics.
Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from cornmint, peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. It is known to be a powerfully medicinal compound linked to several potential health benefits. Peppermint oil, a natural source of menthol, has been investigated as a treatment for several diseases and conditions.
Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, is manufactured from both animal and vegetable oils and this is the reason why some nutritional supplements specify that the magnesium stearate used is sourced from vegetables.
