5-Hydroxy L-Tryptophan (100mg) ![]() What do depression, the inability to fall asleep, and compulsive eating have in common?- low serotonin levels. Because the brain, through the amino acid decarboxylase, naturally converts 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) into serotonin, many researchers are looking into its therapeutic use. Studies have found that 5-HTP may be effective in reducing the frequency and severity of headaches, eating behaviors, depression, symptoms of fibromyalgia, anxiety, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. |
![]() L-Theanine is the amino acid that takes the edge off caffeine in green tea. It also takes the edge off stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Theanine readily crosses the blood brain-barrier where it increases alpha-waves and GABA, a brain chemical known for its calming effect. Unlike tranquilizing drugs, Theanine does not induce stupor, rather it soothes the mind into a relaxing state without affecting the ability to concentrate and remember. Theanine also increases levels of dopamine in the brain and thereby has mood-enhancing effects. Theanine may also lower blood pressure and decrease the symptoms of PMS. |
![]() Encourage a restful night with a triple-nutritional combination that can reduce stress and assist sleep patterns. NUTRA Sleep combines the calming influence of L-Theanine - an amino acid found in green tea - with the resting power of Melatonin - naturally produced by the pineal gland - to help you fall asleep quickly and peacefully. NUTRA Sleep also includes Lemon Balm as a calming property that relieves feelings of stress and anxiety. A quiet mind and peaceful night's rest will help you awake with renewed energy. |
