Serotonin levels in the nervous system are essential for so many aspects of our daily lives. Serotonin is responsible for feelings of well being, satisfaction and for normal sleep patterns. Obesity, PMS, migrains, depression, anxiety, insomnia and addictive behavior have all been associated with low levels of serotonin. And drugs that raise serotonin levels are prescribed for all of these problems. Recent research indicates that there is a natural way to accomplish the same thing: 5-HTP.

| 5-HTP Information and Research 5-HTP or "hydroxy L-tryptophane" is the natural pre-cursor to serotonin in the body. And clinical studies have shown that supplementing with 5-HTP produced positive results in wieght loss, anxiety and depression. It improved sleep patterns and reduced carbohydrate cravings in those on low carbohydrate diets. Anyone using a weight loss program similar to the Atkins Diet could experience a reduction in serotonin levels due to the fact that carbohydrates provide the body with the building blocks of serotonin. Adding 5-HTP aids in preventing this problem. Current Research** For weight loss and obesity: Study #1. 80mg of 5-HTP daily naturally reduced caloric intake over placebo group with no conscious effort to diet. Study #2. 5-HTP improved weight loss results in women on strict diets by helping them to stick to the diet routine. Study #3. Use of 5-HTP resulted in four times the amount of weight lost over placebo group. Note: 5-HTP has been suggested as a safe replacement for the Fenflouramine portion of the popular Phen-phen diet system. Fenflouramine helped with the diet program by raising serotonin levels. 5-HTP can do the same without the health risks. For Migrains, Depression, Anxiety and Fibromyalgia: Several studies** have shown 5-HTP compared favorably to antidepressant drugs in the Prozac family in treating depression, and without the side effects. For migrain relief 5-HTP proved equally effective to the standard drug treatment with Methysergide. All participants in a study of 5-HTP for fibromyalgia experienced signicant improvements in all symptoms including pain, stiffness, anxiety, insomnia and fatigue. **Studies from "The Natural Pharmacist" by Steven Bratman, M.D. and David Kroll Ph.D We have chosen a pure form of 5-HTP produced by Foodscience of Vermont. Each capsule contains 50mg of 5-HTP along with 5mg of vitamin B-6 to aid in absorption and production of serotonin. A typical dose would be one to three capsules per day.
