5-HP Power

Constant stress, uncertainty about the future, and various fears often affect even healthy and successful people. A person’s mood changes, sleep deteriorates and a state of depression develops. Some people, without realizing it, struggle with stress by eating excessive amounts of food, others seek solace in alcohol, falling into an even more dangerous addiction. In the fight against stress and depression, doctors rely on pharmaceutical drugs (tranquilizers and antidepressants), which have a large number of side effects. Some of them, for example, Prozac, belong to a group of pharmacological agents that prolong the life of serotonin – SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Unlike pharmaceuticals, it is possible to influence the functioning of the nervous system using biocorrectors, one of which is tryptophan.

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a metabolite of tryptophan and a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is prescribed as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant (taken before meals), and for insomnia (taken before bed). It is also necessary for seasonal emotional disorders, aggressiveness, obsessive-compulsive neurosis, and a tendency to drug or alcohol addiction. The indication for its use is low serotonin levels. Characteristic symptoms: insomnia, chronic headache, obesity, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, bulimia, fibromyalgia.

The composition of the 5 HTP Power NSP complex includes eleutherococcus root and suma root bark, which enhance the effect of tryptophan, as well as vitamin B6 and zinc.

Eleutherococcus senticosus or “Siberian ginseng” (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is an adaptogen, stimulates the central nervous system, enhances visual acuity, increases mental and physical performance, reduces fatigue during physical activity, increases basal metabolism and appetite, and normalizes blood sugar levels.

Suma (Pfaffia paniculata) – phytosterols restore hormonal balance, have an analgesic effect and regulate blood sugar. Saponins and their derivatives have an antitumor effect. Suma root is an effective adaptogen that supports the body’s immune system, helps cope with stress, relieves pain, and relieves chronic fatigue syndrome. In modern medicine, suma root is used for cancer. In addition, suma is used as a legal anabolic steroid. The anabolic effect is attributed to β-ecdysterone and glycosides. Saponins reduce blood cholesterol levels, slow down the growth of tumor cells, and have antifungal and antibacterial effects.

Zinc is part of antioxidant enzymes, enhances proliferative activity, stimulates immune function.

Vitamin B6. The benefit of taking 5-HTP and vitamin B6 together is that vitamin B6 helps convert 5-HTP to serotonin.
