[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.

Can a system this small — only 24 linear feet of hydroponic tubing — make money?

No. Even though stevia sells for $2 a dry ounce, this system would produce only a few ounces a day of green leaf.

However, if a person is diagnosed as border-line type-2 diabetes and they cannot break their sugar habit, this system would save many many thousands of dollars in doctor fees, hospital stays, prosthetic legs and / or wheelchairs.

24 linear feet of hydroponic stevia cannot supply a health food market or a cafe serving herbal teas. I present this system as a proof-of-concept.

The system, in total, cost approximately $150. This does not include the price of new pipe — I used discarded 6 inch, 1 inch, and 3/4 inch PVC. The solar panel and pump cost $75 through Amazon.com. I found the reservoir. Federico of Hydro Suppliers donated the clay pebbles.

The cost of paint on the reservoir, the miscellaneous fittings, the neoprene end caps ( also purchased through Amazon.com ) totaled another $75 approximately.

The chain link panel — I received that for making a video commercial.

A person with ingenuity and patience could assemble a system totaling 100s of linear feet if they knew plumbers working construction projects. I did not buy any of the 6 inch PVC new. Zero. All of came as scrap intended for landfill dumping.

An urban lot, fenced off and locked, could become a production center for stevia. I believe a grower could get the highest price for stevia as green leaf for specialty diet restaurants. If the grower could not sell the stevia fresh, dry it, sell it to tea shops.

A production lot would require security — chainlink, barbed wire, good locks. Felons engaged in growing of illegal substances would dismantle and disappear the hydroponic system. They can get $100? $500? an ounce wholesale for their products.

Such is our society. Narcotics get serious money. Money for Porsches and SUVs. This sugar substitute that could stop the progress of type-2 diabetes will only sell at a price three or four times the price of tea or coffee.
