The natural AMORYN formula combines 5-HTP with other clinically-proven ingredients to improve mood and relieve feelings of depression and anxiety. Continue reading to learn more about 5-HTP or click here to find out more about how AMORYN can help. 5-HTP is a natural amino acid extracted from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. Your body converts 5-HTP into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates depression, anxiety, sleep and aggression. Researchers believe that many instances of depression result from low levels of serotonin, and prescription SSRI antidepressants (such as Prozac®, Zoloft®, and Paxil®) all work by increasing the amount of available serotonin. By providing the body with the raw materials necessary to produce serotonin, the 5-HTP in AMORYN effectively increases the level of serotonin in the brain.3 Supplementing your normal diet with 5-HTP may be an effective treatment for depression.3,4 In fact, the March 2005 issue of Alternative Medicine magazine recently recommended 5-HTP as the most important amino acid for improving emotional health, saying that "taking it can elevate mood in cases of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, and relieve insomnia."1,2 (The article also listed B6, B12 and Folic Acid - the three B vitamins in AMORYN - as the best vitamins for improving mood.) 5-HTP is extremely safe and, when taken as directed, poses no short or long-term health risks. Two capsules of AMORYN contain 50 mg of 5HTP, an amount carefully selected to gently increase serotonin levels without causing side effects. This mild dose synergizes with AMORYN's main ingredient, pharmaceutical-grade St. John's Wort extract. While many natural supplements combine St. John's Wort (SJW) with 5-HTP, only AMORYN delivers SJW extract standardized to contain at least 5% hyperforin, the potency proven in extensive clinical research to relieve depression.
