[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.

Red ginseng is universally recognized for its numerous health benefits.
And a new study says it’s also effective in containing HIV and Herpes .
Kim Mok-yeon reports.

Red ginseng, also known as “hong-sam” in Korea, has been widely acknowledged for its effectiveness in fighting viral infections.
According to a research team at the University of Ulsan’s Asan Medical Center, a local patient infected with HIV since 1987 has survived for 30 years just by the help of red ginseng.
The patient has ingested a dozen red ginseng capsules containing 500 milligrams of the root every day.
This latest research has drawn attention since the average duration of life among HIV infected patients is 11 years.

“I think the best treatment for HIV is jointly taking red ginseng and HIV medication. It will help boost the immune system and improve a slow metabolism.”

Red ginseng is also found to be helpful for patients infected with the herpes virus.
Local researchers observed that the number of antiviral agents doubled when a mouse that tested positive for the virus was injected with red ginseng extract.

Experts predict that given the protective effects red ginseng has against viral diseases, it could also possibly be effective preventing Zika or even MERS.
