[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.

This is me making Powdered Pumpkin from a Long Island Cheese Pumpkin I roasted and mashed with a potato masher then spread on dehydrator sheets and dried for about 32 hours . Later batches made from small Pie Pumpkins were roasted then pureed in the food processor spread on sheets then dried and powdered.

8 High-Protein Plant Foods For Weight Loss & A Boost Of Energy

Most people think that animal foods contain the highest levels of protein, ounce for ounce, but some plant protein sources even outshine meat. Check out this recipe to see how it’s done. Plants are lower in fat and higher in micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If your body is getting enough protein, you’ll be able to build lean muscle, burn fat, and lose weight.

Here are 8 high-protein plant foods you should add to your diet:
1. Spirulina
This “micro-algae” powder is a complete protein source. Just one tablespoon contains 4 grams! Ounce for ounce, it’s the highest protein source of any food–even meat! It’s also a great source of other nutrients, including B vitamins, potassium, copper, iron, and magnesium. Studies have shown that spirulina can help balance blood sugar levels. Spirulina also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help keep your body healthy and energized.

2. Goji Berry
Another source of all the amino acids your body needs, Goji berries contain 12 grams of protein per cup.

It’s considered to be the most complete food found in nature!

4. Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are a high-quality plant protein source. They contain 11 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons. The protein is highly digestible, and the seeds also contain fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion. The omega-3 fatty acids in hemp seeds support brain development and heart health.

5. Broccoli
