[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.

A gift taken from the gods – Korean ginseng
Originally, ginseng was a medicinal root which grew in the deep of the mountains. Among them, Korean ginseng was especially effective, which meant they were especially valuable. In the past, Korean ginseng was considered a treasure well-hidden among the trees in the forest. As time passes, people develop ways to grow them artificially and produce red ginseng, which allows ginseng to be used in all aspects of our lives.
We learn about the treasure taken from the gods of the heavens, Korean ginseng and its effectiveness.
고려인삼 – 신에게서 빼앗아 온
인삼은 애초에 깊은 산중에서 자생하는 약초였다. 그중에서도 고려인삼은 약효가 대단히 뛰어났기 때문에 값어치도 그만큼 높았다. 과거, 깊은 산 속 신들에 의해 숨겨진 보물에 다름 아니었던 고려인삼. 차례대로 시대를 거치며 홍삼제조법과 인공재배가 가능해지고 현대에 와서 고려인삼은 우리 생활 전반에 쓰이게 된다.
하늘의 신들에게서 가져와 땅에서 쓰인 보물, 고려인삼의 가치와 효능을 뒤돌아본다.
