5-HTP
(5-Hydroxytryptophan) – Natural Serotonin Booster
KAIZEN® 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the West African Griffonia Simplicifolia and is a building block for the neurotransmitter Serotonin. Serotonin plays an important role in sleep, appetite, memory, learning, temperature regulation, mood, PMS, sexual behavior, cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, and endocrine regulation. When levels of Serotonin are too low, problems may include impulsive behavior, aggression, overeating, depression, and suicide.
As the immediate precursors to Serotonin, the amino acids Tryptophan and KAIZEN® 5-HTP can play an important part in producing more Serotonin in the body. Unfortunately, since 1988, the FDA has prohibited the manufacture and sale of Tryptophan in the USA due to a single contaminated batch of the amino acid produced by a Japanese company. Although serious side effects were associated with this batch, no adverse effects have ever been linked to any other batches of Tryptophan. The FDA has still maintained its prohibition on Tryptophan, even though the evidence has been overwhelming that this prohibition is unnecessary. This prohibition may be forcing people to take dangerous and expensive drugs to achieve the benefits they could achieve safely and inexpensively with Tryptophan.
Fortunately, KAIZEN® 5-HTP may be better than Tryptophan for treating Serotonin deficiency disorders, and the FDA’s prohibition does not apply to it. Potency Guaranteed by HPLC Analysis.
