Pure grade 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood

Our 5-HTP is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to support their mood or sleep cycle naturally. 5-HTP is the immediate amino acid precursor to serotonin and is derived from tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in food, principally in meat and dairy products, but only about 3% of oral tryptophan is converted into serotonin. 70% of oral 5-HTP, on the other hand, is converted into serotonin, but is not found in food.

Where is 5-HTP sourced from?
Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally sourced from the seeds of the plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

What is 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is naturally produced in your body from the amino acid tryptophan. Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Serotonin may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

What are the effects of low serotonin levels?
Low serotonin levels are associated with numerous health issues, in particular low mood, sleep disruption and difficulty maintaining healthy weight.

Key Features
50mg 5-HTP per capsule to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood.
5-HTP is derived from the amino acid tryptophan and converted in the body into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter for brain and nerve function.
5-HTP may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
70% of oral 5-HTP is converted into serotonin, compared with only about 3% oral tryptophan. However, unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP is not found in food and therefore requires supplementation.

This food supplement contains 5-HTP, the safe precursor to serotonin. It also contains the nutrients necessary for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. Made from the shrub Griffonia, with added magnesium and vitamin B6

5-HTP Plus contains 5-HTP from the shrub Griffonia
5-HTP is the safe precursor to serotonin - this supplement also contains the other nutrients necessary for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin - magnesium and vitamin B6
Magnesium is involved in many essential metabolic processes and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system
Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, psychological function, the regulation of hormonal activity and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Patented emulsified Oil of Oregano in sustained release form. Biotics Research Corporation is widely recognised for its emulsified fat-soluble nutrients and other lipids, microemulsified with the practical objective of increased absorption and bioavailability. This technology has now been applied to the oil of oregano. By emulsifying oregano extracts, the effective surface area of the oil is dramatically increased.

An additional step was to apply a sustained release mechanism to A.D.P., assuring a slow release throughout the digestive tract. The combined effect of emulsification and sustained release is to enhance intestinal exposure to the essential oil.

Unwelcome guests in the human gastrointestinal tract are more common and have a much greater negative impact on health than is commonly recognised. These bugs range from bacteria and yeasts to parasites and amoebas, hence the need to address these imbalances with anti-microbial agents. Nature contains many different anti-microbials and oregano oil extract, containing the active ingredient of carvacrol, is one of these. It has a broad range of action addressing many different species including B. Hominis but the list includes and is not limited to: Listeria monocytogenes, Giardia lamblia, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O:157:H7, Yersinia enterocolitica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Geotrichum (yeast), Rhodotorula (yeast), Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba histolytica, Endolimax nana.

PATENT ISSUED
The patent has been issued (#5,955,086) for the "eradication of intestinal parasites and amoebas in humans.

Activated B12, folate, and B6

Active B Trio supplies bioactive forms of three essential B vitamins—vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6—in small, easy-to-swallow capsules. The bioactive form of folate L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is included, as well as Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate, the coenzyme form of vitamin B6, and Methylcobalamin, a coenzyme form of vitamin B12, for better absorption and retention. This formulation supports healthy methylation, DNA biosynthesis, neurological function, homocysteine metabolism, red blood cell and neurotransmitter production, and fatty acid metabolism.

Adrenavive I contains freeze-dried bovine whole adrenal glands from Procepts’ proprietary sources in New Zealand, internationally recognised as BSE-free. Their grass-fed cattle are reared as nature intended, without the use of growth-promoting hormones or antibiotics. For most of the year they are free to range on open grass pastures and whilst protected indoors during the winter months, they are fed naturally fermented grass (silage).

The whole adrenal glands are collected by EU approved abattoirs, freeze-dried and further processed using low temperature methods, to carefully preserve their raw nutritional value, before blending with a synergistic complex of Ribonucleotides, the raw building blocks of RNA and DNA for every cell.

Nucleotide Nutrition

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. As such, they are needed by all cells of the human body, particularly during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Nucleotides are also involved in cellular energy production, help to mediate cellular signalling and regulate certain enzymes, along with many other cellular functions.

The body has an ability to produce small amounts of nucleotides itself, as well as to salvage them from old, non-functional cells. However, in tissues which normally have a high cellular turnover (e.g. in the gut, the production of immune cells, or in athletes), or when environmental stressors normally generate an increased demand (e.g infection or injury), then these synthesis and salvage pathways may not be sufficient to supply adequate amounts of nucleotides to the body. So depending on current circumstances, additional nucleotides derived from the diet can become essential for the body.

Historically, organ meats and fermented foods were the richest natural sources of nucleotides in the diet. But as intakes of these wholefood sources have declined in the modern diet, recent scientific interest has focussed on finding additional sources of nucleotide supplementation. As such, the purified complex of all four primary nucleotides added to this new formula, perfectly complements this premium quality organ meat supplement.
