Pure grade 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood

Our 5-HTP is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to support their mood or sleep cycle naturally. 5-HTP is the immediate amino acid precursor to serotonin and is derived from tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in food, principally in meat and dairy products, but only about 3% of oral tryptophan is converted into serotonin. 70% of oral 5-HTP, on the other hand, is converted into serotonin, but is not found in food.

Where is 5-HTP sourced from?
Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally sourced from the seeds of the plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

What is 5-HTP?
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is naturally produced in your body from the amino acid tryptophan. Your body uses it to produce serotonin, a chemical messenger that sends signals between your nerve cells. Serotonin may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

What are the effects of low serotonin levels?
Low serotonin levels are associated with numerous health issues, in particular low mood, sleep disruption and difficulty maintaining healthy weight.

Key Features
50mg 5-HTP per capsule to support normal sleep patterns and balanced mood.
5-HTP is derived from the amino acid tryptophan and converted in the body into serotonin, an important neurotransmitter for brain and nerve function.
5-HTP may also be converted in the body to melatonin, an important neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
70% of oral 5-HTP is converted into serotonin, compared with only about 3% oral tryptophan. However, unlike tryptophan, 5-HTP is not found in food and therefore requires supplementation.

Patented emulsified Oil of Oregano in sustained release form. Biotics Research Corporation is widely recognised for its emulsified fat-soluble nutrients and other lipids, microemulsified with the practical objective of increased absorption and bioavailability. This technology has now been applied to the oil of oregano. By emulsifying oregano extracts, the effective surface area of the oil is dramatically increased.

An additional step was to apply a sustained release mechanism to A.D.P., assuring a slow release throughout the digestive tract. The combined effect of emulsification and sustained release is to enhance intestinal exposure to the essential oil.

Unwelcome guests in the human gastrointestinal tract are more common and have a much greater negative impact on health than is commonly recognised. These bugs range from bacteria and yeasts to parasites and amoebas, hence the need to address these imbalances with anti-microbial agents. Nature contains many different anti-microbials and oregano oil extract, containing the active ingredient of carvacrol, is one of these. It has a broad range of action addressing many different species including B. Hominis but the list includes and is not limited to: Listeria monocytogenes, Giardia lamblia, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O:157:H7, Yersinia enterocolitica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Geotrichum (yeast), Rhodotorula (yeast), Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba histolytica, Endolimax nana.

PATENT ISSUED
The patent has been issued (#5,955,086) for the "eradication of intestinal parasites and amoebas in humans.

Activated Charcoal Capsules work to prevent a build-up of intestinal gas, the cause of uncomfortable bloating and embarrassing flatulence, found especially after meals.

Each charcoal tablet contains 334 mg of activated charcoal, which absorbs impurities in your digestive system, including trapped intestinal gas and hydrogen sulphide – the cause of smelly wind! It may also absorb other toxins which cause gastrointestinal problems, and so can be used as a treatment for IBS when excess wind is present.

Just For Tummies pure Activated Charcoal Capsules can be used every day in the treatment of diarrhoea, flatulence (wind/gas), irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, indigestion, constipation and various other common digestive complaints.

The Allimed® 100 capsule pack provides a month's supply of stabilised allicin

What is allicin?

When fresh garlic is cut or crushed, an amino acid, allicin, combines with an enzyme, allinase and a chemical reaction starts. The first compound that is formed is Allicin. Allicin, generated from fresh garlic, changes into a series of other sulphur compounds, known as thiosulphinates. Allicin is described as the 'mother' substance of garlic, which is responsible for the majority of its remarkable properties.

Professional-strength water and lipid soluble nutritional support

Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 MG provides Lipoic Acid, which is uniquely water and lipid soluble for broad-spectrum nutritional support. Lipoic Acid is an endogenous molecule involved in several metabolic functions and has been subject to considerable clinical research.

Optimal energy and nerve health
Promotes metabolic energy production
Helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism
Supports nerve cell health
Water and fat solubility provides exceptional versatility as an antioxidant

Verifiable Science
Alpha lipoic acid is both water and fat soluble which allows it to function in almost any part of the body as an antioxidant. A key component of the metabolic process, alpha lipoic acid produces energy in muscles and directs calories into energy production.1 In addition, it helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism, supports the nervous system and provides nutritional support for healthy liver function.2 In one study, alpha lipoic acid decreased serum lactate and pyruvate and promoted healthy glucose metabolism in lean and overweight individuals.3 Alpha lipoic acid supported nerve health in subjects who participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial.4 The ability of alpha lipoic acid to modulate nitric oxide metabolite activity and to promote healthy microcirculation accounted for its ability to promote nerve cell health in two separate studies.
