5-HTP Found To Be Versatile Supplement For Many - JaneÂ’s Health Market Encourages Education To Help Area Women
If you could supplement an amino acid in your body to help you sleep, would you? Thousands of women are discovering that the answer is a resounding, “yes” through the discovery of 5-HTP.
(PRWEB) March 13, 2005
5-HTp, a precursor to L-tryptophan and serotonin, is a supplement growing in popularity for many reasons. It is being used for depression (bipolar/unipolar), insomnia and obesity. The benefits that are being experienced by consumers is the reduction of migraine severity, reduction of ParkinsonÂ’s symptoms, an increase in pain threshold, creating a more relaxed waking state within 45 minutes, appetite reduction, aggression reduction, mood balancer and a reduction in the time it takes to fall asleep without the disturbing sleep patterns other supplements may create.
Most recently, many menopausal women are utilizing the supplement to help them sleep. Many of these women are reporting a loss of weight due to appetite reduction and an increase in their endorphin release during exercise.
Ruth Leininger, owner of Jane’s Health Market and Deli located at 11029 Elm Street in Omaha explains, “there is still a lot to learn about this supplement, but I am encouraged by my customer’s comments and the fact that this is a naturally occurring amino acid in all of us.” Ruth also recommends that you find supplements with Vitamins B3, B6 and C to maximize the benefits.
As always, consumers should always discuss these changes with their physician before embarking on a supplement change. 5-HTP should not be taken with MAO inhibitors.
