Extracted in Germany from the seed of the African plant, Griffonia Simplicifolia, 5-HTP is the natural precursor to Serotonin, the neuro transmitter associated with mood and emotional equilibrium. Well known for its sleep enhancing and anti-depressant qualities, 5-HTP also helps suppress appetite when taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before meals. Clinical trials in obese patients have shown 5-HTP intake results in decreased consumption of both carbohydrates and fats, but not protein. Weight loss occurred because of a voluntary decrease in caloric intake rather than because of a restrictive diet. Symptoms of serotonin deficiency may include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, migraine headaches, PMS, insomnia, carbohydrate/sugar cravings, alcoholism, Seasonal-Affective Disorder, obesity, Fibromyalgia, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, aggressive/violent tendencies.
INGREDIENTS: 50 mg 5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (from Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed Extract), Rice Flour, Hypromellose (Cellulose Capsule). Now Foods
