5-Hidroxitriptófano
El 5-hidroxitriptófano (5-HTP) es el metabolito intermedio que se produce cuando el cuerpo inicia el proceso de conversión del aminoácido esencial L-triptófano en serotonina. Los niveles de serotonina en el cuerpo se asocian con la regulación del sueño, el estado de ánimo, la agresión, el apetito, la temperatura, el comportamiento sexual y la sensación de dolor.*
Suplementar con 5-HTP para facilitar la producción de serotonina es preferible a suplementar con L-triptófano porque, a diferencia del L-triptófano, el 5-HTP no puede desviarse hacia la producción de niacina o proteínas.* La suplementación con 5-HTP evita la conversión de L-triptófano en 5-HTP por la enzima triptófano hidroxilasa, el paso limitante de la velocidad en la síntesis de serotonina y un paso que puede ser inhibido por varios factores, incluyendo el estrés, la resistencia a la insulina, el aumento de la edad y las deficiencias de vitamina C, folato y hierro.
El 5-HTP se absorbe bien cuando se toma por vía oral, y aproximadamente el 70 por ciento termina en el torrente sanguíneo.*
La absorción intestinal de 5-HTP no requiere la presencia de una molécula de transporte y no se ve afectada por la presencia de otros aminoácidos; por lo tanto, puede tomarse con las comidas sin reducir su eficacia.* El 5-HTP atraviesa fácilmente la barrera hematoencefálica y aumenta eficazmente la síntesis de serotonina en el sistema nervioso central (SNC).*
Se ha demostrado que el 5-HTP tiene un impacto beneficioso en el estado de ánimo, la incomodidad asociada con la fatiga, el sueño y el deseo de carbohidratos.* Numerosos estudios de individuos con un estado de ánimo negativo han mostrado una respuesta positiva significativa con 50-300 mg de 5-HTP al día.*
Para facilitar aún más la producción de serotonina, la fórmula de 5-HTP de Thorne Research contiene piridoxal 5'-fosfato, la forma activa de la vitamina B6 y el cofactor necesario para la conversión de 5-HTP a serotonina.* El 5-HTP se produce comercialmente por extracción de las semillas de la planta africana, Griffonia simplicifolia.

Vitamina B6 (como piridoxal 5'-fosfato) 6,8 mg.
5-hidroxitriptófano 100 mg.

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
High quality goods, well-informed friendly staff, reasonable pricing and regular discounts. Feels old school and good to have a small shop that's so well stocked.
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!
