Jarrow Formulas 5-Htp 50 Mg - 90 Caps

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. There is a massive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain.
 
As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches, and have vague muscle aches and pain. All of these maladies are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels. 5-HTP may help with:

  • Depression
  • Obesity
  • Carbohydrate craving
  • Bulimia
  • Insomnia
  • Narcolepsy
  • Sleep apnea
  • Migraine headaches
  • Tension headaches
  • Chronic daily headaches
  • Premenstrual syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia

Why is serotonin so important?

Serotonin (also called 5-hydrotryptophan) is found in the cells of the brain and intestine and in the platelets of our blood. When the walls of blood vessels are damaged, serotonin is released from the platelets to constrict the blood vessel and prevent hemorrhage. In the tissue of the intestine, it acts as a stimulant to make the smooth muscle contract. Most people are probably most familiar with serotonin as it acts in the brain - as a neurotransmitter that aids in the transmission of nerve impulses between synapses. All of these functions make serotonin very important to all of the body's systems. Serotonin deficiency has been implicated in mood disorders, appetite control, premenstrual syndrome, autism, eating disorders, fibromyalgia, appetite control, the pain phase of migraine, and other conditions and disorders. Some serotonin is converted by our pineal gland into melatonin, the hormone that controls our sleep cycle. Thus, serotonin deficiency is also linked to insomnia and other sleep disorders

Jarrow Formulas 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an extract of Griffonia simplicifolia seeds from costal West Africa. 5-HTP is the direct metabolic precursor of serotonin and is important for the production of melatonin.

Melatonin is a hormone made by a part of the brain called the pineal (say: "pin-ee-all") gland. Melatonin may help our bodies know when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up.

Ingredient Details: Rice powder, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. Capsule consists of gelatin.

Expert Advice: 5-HTP is the direct metabolic precursor of serotonin.

Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your qualified health consultant.

Cautions: Do NOT take if pregnant, lactating, trying to conceive, under age 18, or have a medical condition. If taking prescribed medication(s), e.g. antidepressant SSRIs, MAO inhibitors or sedatives, consult health professional before taking 5-HTP

Jarrow 5-HTP 50 mg Jarrow has an excellent product with their 5-HTP. If you test your products with kinesiology (muscle testing) you will find their's is the best. I've checked out many Anti-aging products which work with the hormone balance in the body - Melatonin, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, HGH and now 5-HTP. After one capsule of this product I felt calmer, had no awareness of any problems in my life and couldn't even remember if I did have any problems! That's the effect of increased Serotonin levels. I take it with Phosphatidylserine which provides nutrition for the brain. Fish from the ocean is brain food too, if you can't afford the Phosphatidylserine. Jarrow 5-HTP 50 mg is a "must have" for Anti-aging

Unbelievable in effectiveness I have been dealing with terrible depression and anxiety issues for a while.. it built up recently to the point where I decided to turn to treatment with an SSRI.. Lexapro increased my anxiety, gave me a horrible cloudy head, and did nothing for my symptoms, Zoloft made me suicidal and borderline psychotic! The only thing that worked for me was 5-htp and Jarrow's B-right b-complex ...I tried 5-htp without the b-complex at a does of 25 mg and I saw better sleep but not so much of an impact on my other symptoms...with the b-complex (during the day) and 50mg of 5-htp at night I effectively rid myself of years of depression practically over night...It is miraculous I will update in the future as I am only in the beginning stages but this is by far the most effective supplement I have ever tried for depression

Simone This is an excellent product. Since I began taking Jarrow 5-HTP a year and a half ago, my ability to fall sleep, stay asleep,and sleep deeply, have all improved dramatically. I began feeling the benefits right away, but they became most noticeable after 3 months of continual use. I am also never drowsy the next day, as with some herbs I have tried. I also noticed that as an added benefit of taking 5-HTP, it gently regulates my mood, so I feel an overall heightened sense of well being. I will stay with this brand indefinitely!

Great Stuff I just recently started taking 5HTP by Jarrow formulas about 2 weeks ago. It has help tremendously. I have been struggling with depression for the last 2 to 3 years, and overnight this has helped so much. I never took any prescriptions because I wanted something that was natural and I know that I did not want to experience any side effects. I heard that many RX's have a lot of side effects. GREAT stuff.
