Sleep is especially important in today’s world. It’s the time
when your body repairs, rebuilds and replenishes the tissues and compounds that
have been damaged or depleted by the demands of your life. But when there is too
much stress, imbalances occur that can keep you from getting enough sleep.
Source Naturals, the science company, introduces 5-HTP to help promote healthy
sleep cycles. 5-HTP, or L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, is created when the tryptophan in
your body is converted into serotonin. 5-HTP can cross the blood-brain barrier
and is associated with increasing active serotonin levels as well as serotonin
production. And those increased serotonin levels are associated with healthy
sleep regulation, increased melatonin production for 24-hour sleep cycle
regulation, mood regulation, and appetite control. Source Natural’s 5-HTP
capsules are safely and naturally derived from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds.
5-HTP works because it supports your body’s balanced production
of two important sleep regulating hormones, serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin
is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep, moods and appetite. But you
need adequate serotonin levels to maintain this balance. 5-HTP is the serotonin
precursor that is formed when tryptophan is converted into serotonin in your
body. In clinical research, 5-HTP increased the amount and availability of
serotonin produced by the body. It is able to cross the blood brain–barrier to
increase both serotonin levels and serotonin production in your brain so you can
regain a healthy balance when you are sleeping, feeling emotions, or eating.
Eventually, the serotonin in your body is converted into melatonin, the hormone
that helps regulate healthy 24-hour sleep cycles known as circadian rhythms.
Aging and various forms of physical or emotional stress can decrease your
melatonin levels and disrupt your sleep cycle. Fortunately, that balance can be
regained. When 5-HTP increases serotonin production, melatonin production is
also increased, which can help you regain a healthy circadian rhythm.
Source Naturals 5-HTP is safely derived from Griffonia
simplicifolia seeds and is available in 50 and 100 mg potencies. Innovative
natural products, such as 5-HTP, are part of a new paradigm in health care. You
can join this revolution in preventive wellness, long before it becomes
mainstream, by taking charge of your health with products that are only
available at natural food and nutrition outlets. Support your healthy moods,
eating habits and sleep cycles with the science of Source Naturals 5-HTP today.
Have a small portion of a high carbohydrate snack (such as a few crackers or a banana) just before bedtime. That small amount of simple carbohydrates will trigger the release of extra serotonin to help you get to sleep.
Exercise. Regular exercise helps to promote healthy sleep cycles. But stop exercising a few hours before bedtime so your body has time to switch to a relaxed state for sleeping.
Supplement with 5-HTP, MELATONIN and our Bio-Aligned™ NIGHT REST™ formula. These supplements can help you maintain healthy sleep cycles.
