[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.

First off, it works wonders for the many who suffer from UTI or in other words a urinary tract infection.

Cranberry juice contains what is called proanthocyanidins…

This property has been shown to help stop bacteria from binding itself to the bladder allowing the bacteria to flush out of the body.

Cranberry juice also makes the urine acidic which kills that bacteria as well.

Beyond curing UTI’s the flavanoids in cranberries can help lower the risk of heart problems and help boost your heart health.

You see those flavanoids help to reduce the accumulation of plaques on the arteries which causes lack of oxygen rich blood flow which can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Cranberries have also shown to help boost good cholesterol’ by up to 121 percent.

It can even keep your teeth looking right!

All natural cranberry juice can also help prevent tooth decay by inhibiting bacteria growth, thus preventing the decay of teeth due to cavities.

Just watch out for the sugar content before you go nuts with it.

And speaking of sugar… since it is so bitter… all natural juice that is…

it may aid in weight loss if you substitute it for some of the other more sugary drinks you may be consuming.

Another great reason to get on the Cranberry bandwagon is that cranberry juice has been shown to inhibit the growth of various cancer cells.

Studies have also shown that flavanoids, which cranberries are rich in, help to reduce the risk of cancer too.

There was a study at Cornell University found that cranberry extract killed off cancer cells within HOURS when tested on human breast cancer cells.

Along with that… it’s a great immunity booster, it has loads of vitamin C and it’s even been shown to aid in healthy pregnancies.
