[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Why it Works for
F21 is an All Natural Sugar Blocker that helps limit your blood sugar absorption. It consists of different compounds found to have various health benefits, such as L-Arabinose, Coriolus Versicolor Polysacchride, Konjac-Mannan, Magnesium Stearate, Mint flavor: Menthol and Natural Colors. F21 not only does it help promote weight loss, (PSK) boosts your immune system response. In fact, for every gram of F21, you can block up to 20 grams of sugar (sucrose). The formula not only helps promote weight loss, it benefits the digestive system by allowing the blocked sucrose to support beneficial probiotic bacteria while the polysaccharide (PSK) boosts your immune system response.
But how does this formula break down the sugar in our bodies? There are basically three steps:
STEP 1
Sugar (sucrose) enters the body as a whole molecule.
STEP 2
The enzyme “sucrose” separates the sucrose molecule into two individual sugar molecules, Glucose and Fructose, which then enter the blood stream to be used. F21 inhibits sucrose from separating the sucrose molecule.
STEP 3
Instead of the sugars entering the blood stream, the whole sucrose molecule and F21 remain in the digestive tract and become prebiotics.
The main ingredient in F21 is L-Arabinose, which helps prevent sugar (sucrose) from being metabolized in the body. It also helps to satisfy any cravings for sugar. Another ingredient, Polysaccharide (PSK), is an extremely powerful antioxidant and immune-regulatory defender. It’s well researched anti-tumor, anti-infection and anti-inflammation effects help repair damaged cells and support the immune system.
Konjac-Mannan is a natural appetite suppressant. It acts as a trigger signaling your stomach to feel a little more satisfied and can help to reduce hunger cravings.
Prebiotics are indigestible fibers that are food for the probiotics. Both F21 and the whole sucrose molecule remain in the large intestine and become food for probiotics.
Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from cornmint, peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. It is known to be a powerfully medicinal compound linked to several potential health benefits. Peppermint oil, a natural source of menthol, has been investigated as a treatment for several diseases and conditions.
Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, is manufactured from both animal and vegetable oils and this is the reason why some nutritional supplements specify that the magnesium stearate used is sourced from vegetables.

Hey guys! For 2017 I am going to focus on giving you guys recipe ideas based around the junk foods we love, but in my own healthy versions. I like this recipe because it is versatile, packed with protein and very easy to make. Make as much as you want so you can store a couple batches in a container to grab-n-go as you please!

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Rolled Oats
Vegan Chocolate Chips
Maple Syrup
Unsalted Peanuts

LUXURY INGREDIENTS:
Peanut Butter Powder (optional: PB spread is just as good)
Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder (optional)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
RECIPE IN STRUCTIONS + TIPS:
1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF
2. Combine peanuts, chocolate, peanut powder, your favorite protein powder, and maple syrup into a food processor
3. Blend/process for however long you think looks good to you and open the bowl back up
4. Throw in the rolled oats and give it another 30-60 seconds (you want to aim for a sticky, sludgey texture)
5. Depending on how big you want your cookie, form dough on a baking tray
6. Depending on how chewy/crunchy you want your cookies, watch them in oven if you are going to leave them in for longer than 15-20 minutes.
6. Serve with your favorite version of milk, and enjoy!

TIPS:

•I used luxurious ingredients like performance peanut butter powder and pumpkin protein powder but you should be able to get the key components of this recipe at your local supermarket for well under $10

•If you are going to the healthier route and using rolled oats in place of flour like me, throw your ingredients into the food processor beforehand to ensure a doughy texture

•Every ingredient in this recipe is interchangeable. You can mix and match whatever ingredients you like best based on your tastebuds/food sensitivities/etc.

•If you like your cookies on the crunchier side leave them in the oven longer than 20 minutes

•If you aren’t on a plant-based, or dairy-free diet –I suggest you don’t go cheap and try to get the best quality ingredients (eggs, milk, etc.)
