[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.

IMPORTANT: 4 steps to follow before purchasing:
1) Make sure the supplement is made in the USA.
2) Make sure it is caffeine-free.
3) Certified, certified…certified! Always choose certified raspberry ketone products if you seriously want to lose weight and be safe.
4) Don`t expect to buy high quality raspberry ketone for less than $50. If that could put you into an uncomfortable situation financially you should definitely look for another weight loss supplement.

Raspberry ketones are a natural phenolic and an active compound of the red raspberry. As well as being used to flavor and color food, raspberry ketone is found in cosmetics and perfume. Although popular, it is not cheap and people who use the phenolic often pay upwards of $20, 000 per kilo. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) carried out a full investigation in 1965, to check how safe raspberry ketone was to the general population. Following the investigation, it was given the FDA GRAS status, which means it has been certified as safe for use.

Weight Loss

Over the last five years, raspberry ketones have been linked with weight loss. According to a Life Science study in 2005, ketones are responsible for increasing the breakdown of fat in the human body. A 2008 study also revealed that ketone extracted from raspberries contain certain antioxidants that are similar to those found in synephrine and capsaicin.

Cancer

A study carried out by Ehime University revealed the possibility that raspberry ketones may be beneficial to females suffering from breast cancer. This is due again to antioxidants, which scientists refer to as anti-cancer agents. While it will not cure cancer, it is believed to improve a female’s chances of surviving cancer following treatment.

Diabetes

The antioxidants contained in raspberry ketones also play a key role in the body’s protection against cell damage and diseases. The supplement encourages the body to release a certain hormone that protects against type-2 diabetes. It can also help reduce the build-up of fatty plaque in the walls of the liver and arteries. This reduces a person’s chances of suffering from serious liver conditions, such as cirrhosis and cancer.

Other Benefits

One of the biggest benefits associated with raspberry ketones is the fact they take very little time to take effect on the body. Taken regularly and combined with an exercise plan and a healthy diet, it has been linked to weight loss and improved health in as little as two weeks, according to a Harvard University study.

Conclusion

Studies back raspberry ketones as being instrumental in weight loss, illness prevention, and an overall improvement in a person’s wellbeing, however, there are still certain things to consider. For example, for an individual to lose a significant amount of weight while using the berry ketone extract, they would have to consume an entire raspberry bush. Considering the expense of ketones, this may not really be an option for a weight-loss supplement. A 2005 study that took place in Switzerland, saw scientists feed ketones to several mice. The results appeared to indicate that rather than help break down fat, the ketones hindered the growth of fat cells. While this would lead to weight loss, there is potential health issues involved too. Studies also indicated that raspberry ketone dosage would have to be at least triple the recommended dose, to improve a person’s energy levels to a noticeable degree. Fortunately however, with time and technology the production cost of raspberry ketone has been significantly reduced, making it a much more affordable weight loss supplement.
