[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.

When it comes to citrus fruits, oranges and lemons are most popular. But there is another fruit that is often underestimated. The grapefruit is a citrus fruit that has some powerful health benefits.
In fact, grapefruit is known as the “fruit from the paradise” due to its unique health-promoting as well as disease-preventing properties.
Refreshing and delicious, grapefruits are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. They also contain vitamin A, potassium, folate, thiamin, vitamin B6, calcium, iron, copper, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as several phytonutrients and flavonoids.
This fruit is also very low in calories.
Grapefruits are the kind of nutritional powerhouse that can benefit your body in many ways.
Here are the top 6 health benefits of grapefruits.
1. Aids Weight Loss
Naturally packed with vitamin C, fiber and water, grapefruits are good for people trying to lose weight. The vitamin C content improves the function of your metabolic system and also regulates fat metabolism, thus aiding in fat-burning.
2. Stabilizes Blood Sugar
The American Diabetes Association recommends grapefruit for people suffering from diabetes. This low-glycemic food does not cause a spike in blood sugar after its consumption.
3. Protects Against Cancer
Grapefruit helps reduce the risk of cancers of the stomach, colon, bladder, breast and esophagus.
The rich antioxidant property of grapefruits combats free radicals, harmful substances that cause damage to cells in the body and are ultimately responsible for deadly diseases like cancer.
4. Reduces Risk of Kidney Stones
By drinking grapefruit juice daily, you can even reduce the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
The high amount of citric acid in grapefruits aids in deterring stone formation and even helps break up small stones that are forming. Citric acid makes urine less favorable for the formation of stones.
5. Protects Heart Health
Being rich in vitamin C, grapefruits are even good for your heart health.
A 2015 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who ate the most fruits and vegetables had a 15 percent lower risk of developing heart disease. Those having the highest vitamin C levels in their blood plasma had even more reduced rates of heart disease.
6. Lowers Bad Cholesterol
Grapefruits are a rich source of several flavonoids. The predominant flavonoid hesperidin in grapefruits boosts ‘good’ high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lowers ‘bad’l ow-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides.
