[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.

The plant shown in this video is knows as the King of Bitters in English & in our local language it is called Chirota, Kalmegh, Maha-tita (চিৰতা, কালমেঘ, মহা-তিতা – চিৰতা আয়ুৰ্বেদ শাস্ত্ৰত কালমেঘ হিচাবেও জনা যায়| এই গুল্ম জাতীয় উদ্ভিদবিধ উত্তৰ-পূৱ ভাৰতত \’মহা-তিতা\’ অৰ্থাৎ তিতাৰ ৰজা বুলিও পৰিচিত| বিশেষকৈ পাত আৰু শিপা ঔষধ হিচাবে ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয়|) is famous for its herbal power to treat various kind of diseases & extremely bitter in taste. King of Bitters (Chirota) is widely cultivated in India and Sri Lanka. Even research has also found evidence of its effectiveness to treatment of upper respiratory infection, ulcerative colitis & rheumatic symptoms & even had significant drying effect on the nasal secretions of cold sufferers who took 1,200 milligrams of andrographis extract daily for five days. I am showing a simple method how to take out it’s juice & drink it by mixing in water. First of all plug out the leaves & break the branch into small pieces as shown in the video & dip it into a glass of water & leave it for the whole night. In the morning hours drink the water, which will be very bitter in taste but can help you get rid of many diseases even worms from your intestines. The whole plant including its leaves, branches & roots are used as medicines.
This plant is used in treating many ailments, such as fatty liver problems, including gastrointestinal complains, throat infections, to dispel toxins, for increasing biliary flow. Some therapeutic uses include: coughs, headaches, edema, earache, pain conditions, inflammation & muscular pain, arthritis, rheumatism, fibro myalgia, multiple sclerosis, depression, bronchitis, tuberculosis, chicken pox, mumps; sluggish liver, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands; sleeplessness, vaginitis, constipation, etc. & has also been use as a replacement for quinine in treatment of malaria. However, pregnant women & people with high blood pressure are not advised to eat this plant.

On Monday, the first part of Sold Out hit the Internet. The subsequent parts rolled out over the rest of the week, but if you’ve been patiently waiting to take in the entire project in one sitting, your day has come.

Above you’ll find the full-length cut of Sold Out, with all four parts edited into a single cohesive whole. If you need a reminder about the story unfolding, here’s Complex Style’s associate editor Karizza Sanchez: In 1994, James Jebbia opened the first Supreme location in a small storefront on Lafayette Street in New York. At the time, Supreme was a brand for skaters by skaters—even the design for the shop was more open so skaters could come right in with their skateboards. But today, 21 years later, Supreme is a legendary streetwear brand that’s cultivated a cult following well beyond that original fan base.

Continuing to release product in tightly controlled, limited amounts, the brand is as big as it wants to be in New York, Los Angeles, and London; a titan in Japan—arguably its largest market. Complex has covered Supreme for well over a decade (Complex was founded in 2002). Most of it was from afar; we wrote about releases or lookbooks. But for the last year or so, our Complex News team has been reporting from the Lafayette Street shop to cover in-store launches. Every story was the same:

Lines snaked around the block, kids camped out for hours or days, sometimes even in subfreezing temperatures, just to get any Supreme item. Each Thursday drop was chaos. In April 2014, the NYPD canceled the Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One in-store launch at the NYC flagship after a riot nearly broke out earlier that day. But there was something much bigger here. We learned that many were in line to purchase gear that they’d later flip online for big profits, selling apparel and other items for as much as 1,200 percent above retail value.

“We started to get to know these people and realized there was a business here and real money to be made,” explains Emily Oberg, Complex Editorial Producer and one of the directors of this documentary. While the reselling market is hardly new, and people have been selling Supreme online for years, it’s yet to be the focus of serious investigation—until now.
