5-HTP Products
Serotonin is a brain neurotransmitter which affects mood, appetite, and sleep. Serotonin deficiency can cause depression, anxiety, insomnia, and even weight gain because people will often binge on carbohydrates to raise their serotonin levels. Medical science offers drugs, such as Prozac, to raise serotonin levels. These drugs work by crippling (poisoning) the mechanism by which serotonin is broken down and removed by the brain. Of course they are accompanied by numerous side effects and toxicities. However, there is another strategy: Serotonin is made from the amino acid tryptophan, specifically, the form known as 5-hydroxy tryptophan, or 5-htp. Providing the brain with more 5htp enables it to make more serotonin. It's simple! Rather than take a toxic drug, wouldn't you rather take a natural substance which is normally found in your brain anyway? 5-htp safely and effectively raises serotonin levels in the brain without the dangerous and unpleasant side effects of prescription drugs. Some mainstream doctors have warned of the possibility of "peak factor X" contamination in 5htp supplements. "Peak factor X" was the contaminant that made people sick during the tryptophan toxicity scare back in the 1980s. However, Vitamin Research Products knows all about peak factor X and uses "high pressure liquid chromatography" to make absolutely sure that their 5htp is free of it. VRP's 5htp is safe, potent, and effective. 5-htp is a treatment that truly feeds the brain rather than poisoning it. Which would you rather do?
