[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.

From www.IMPRESS1600.com This objective review OF VIMAX PILLS is intended to help you make an informed choice of male sexual enhancement supplements and provided by IMPRESS! The strongest male sexual enhancement pill with 1600 mg of highly standardized, branded bioactives.

First, the supplied info on Vimax pills shows it’s a long-term program-taking pills EVERY SINGLE DAY. You “MAY” notice increased sexual desire and stamina in weeks 1-4. A MONTH before you “MAY” see ANY results??? Vimax doesn’t even claim to have you at your full potential until at least 9 weeks.

IMPRESS! allows “flexible dosing.” You take it when YOU want. IMPRESS! is the strongest natural male sexual enhancement pill that’s safe enough to take every day, but you may take it only on the days YOU choose.

Next, look at how Vimax pills lures you in with a “Free Trial Offer”. To get their “free” 15 capsules, you must enroll in their automatic monthly payment plan that starts before you’ve even had time to finish the trial! Your credit card is billed $74.95 a month unless you call to cancel which means an overseas customer service number that is a giant pain.

However, if you just skip the trial offer, and purchase one bottle of Vimax, it costs $59.95. So why does the “Vimax Free Trial Offer” charge you nearly $75 per bottle?

Did you know that there’s a caffeinated plant native to North America? Previously viewed as a weed by farmers, yaupon holly is a plant that can be dried and turned into a tea. Yaupon is native to the southeastern states from Texas to Virginia and is a close cousin of the South American yerba maté. The plant’s leaves contain around 1% caffeine, similar to the caffeine content of yerba mate. But the taste may be even better. Especially, when it’s roasted, yaupon has a sweeter or more pleasant taste than yerba mate. Yaupon tea has a deliciously robust flavor and still packs in health benefits similar to those of green tea or yerba mate.

Yaupon tea has been drunk in pockets across the American South for hundreds of years and was used medicinally by Native Americans. Indian tribes used it for both recreation and ceremony. Early white settlers knew the tea as “the black drink.” During the Civil War, southerners substituted yaupon holly tea for coffee and black tea. Modern commercialization of yaupon holly has only begun in the last few years.

The leaves have been used to treat high blood pressure, fever, rheumatism and digestive issues. Holly leaf extract is sometimes used to combat jaundice, dizziness and emotional problems.

The rich content of caffeine makes the Yaupon tea a strong heart stimulant. Yaupon is almost equal to yerba mate in caffeine and antioxidant content. (a cup of brewed yerba mate contains about half the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee).

Like coffee and tea, yaupon is rich in polyphenols. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there is a strong case for polyphenols in the prevention of degenerative diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and cancers.

Further, a 2011 study has demonstrated the specific polyphenols found in yaupon tea to have anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive effects.

The high content of antioxidants make it perfect for boosting your metabolism. Yaupon holly is great for improving the way your body burns fat and it is recommended for people who want to lose weight. One study demonstrated that the antioxidant levels of yaupon tea are not affected by a change in packaging or storage.

Leaves and stems of yaupon holly may be used fresh, dried or roasted and stored like any dried herbal tea. They were traditionally parched to a dark brown over a fire. The leaves may also be parched in the oven or on the stove top at 350-400 degrees F. A simple tea is brewed by steeping just a few leaves in a cup of hot water for a few minutes and then straining out the leaves. Parching the leaves infuses a smoky flavor similar to yerba maté (Ilex paraguariensis).

Not all hollies are safe for consumption so it’s important to make positive identification, as is the case with any wild edible. You can also purchase the tea online. It is advisable to not overuse Yaupon Holly as it has a high content of caffeine. Two cups a day are perfectly normal, but overuse will lead to problems similar to coffee overuse.
