Depression Is Quite A Common Condition.

By Lorine Zaragoza


Most people across the globe have to deal with feeling depressed at least once or twice in a lifetime. In the United States alone, figures show that over 20 million people are suffering from some form of depression, anxiety and stress.

Many are questioning whether or not it is a viable supplement to take when pursuing weight loss alone. However, there are many over the counter supplements that use 5-HTP.

First of all, this product is primarily known as an appetite suppressant which means that you will be less hungry at each meal and you will also be less likely to snack between meals. However, this also has the ability to combat depression, mood disorders, and binge eating that is often a result of depression.

How Does This Really Work? This is a very different type of diet product than anything you may have tried in the past because it does not artificially ramp up your metabolic rate, nor does it provide you with additional energy. Instead, you will notice subtle changes in your mood, sleep patterns, and eating patterns that are direct result of the natural compound in this supplement.

Initial research studies have found that 5-HTP reduces the appetite by increasing serotonin production in the brain. Clinical trials have actually shown some great results. Subjects that took between 600 and 900 mg daily were able to lose 11 pounds in 12 weeks. However, the trials also showed that the people that took 5-HTP in large doses sometimes had nausea, headaches, sleepiness, muscle pain, or anxiety.

Serelax according to the products manufacturer (Primelife Labs), is intended to maximize the natural production of serotonin in the body and assist the imbalance in a more natural way. The product is said to contain all natural ingredients embodied within a proprietary blend.

Can You Get A 5-HTP Overdose? One thing to keep in mind is that 5-HTP and alcohol do not mix, nor should it be taken with prescription medications such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety products.

Suntheanine Suntheanine, is a proprietary substance obtained from green tea. For centuries in Asia, green tea has been known to provide relaxation and ease stress. Researchers have found that the L-theanine, an amino acid that can only be found in green tea, is responsible for the calming effect of this particular beverage.

Kava kava Another herb that is scientifically proven to reduce sleeplessness and promote relaxation is Kava kava. Experts believe that this natural ingredient is also useful in relieving muscle soreness and tension headaches.

Experts also believe that this substance can be used in boosting mental acuity, improving focus and concentration, enhancing learning ability, decreasing adverse effects of caffeine, helping promote restful sleep, and even promoting a healthy immune system.

Most people find that by taking this supplement on a daily basis and eating a sensible diet, they are able to lose weight at a fairly rapid pace without endangering their health. The fact that this also works is a natural appetite suppressant and helps with sleep means that it can positively affect many aspects of your life.
