Description 5-HTP is a natural building block of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps control satiety, mood, sleep patterns, and nervous system function.* However, 5-HTP is one step closer to serotonin and is more easily converted to natural serotonin in your brain or digestive tract. For this reason, most practitioners recommend only about one-fifth the dose of 5-HTP that they do for L-Tryptophan.  Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Soy Free Yeast Free Preservative Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free Shellfish Free Non-GMO  Suggested Use (Adults): Take one (1) capsule one to three times per day with a beverage or meal, or as directed by your doctor.

Description5-HTP helps increase serotonin levels to support sleep, stress response, and decrease sugar cravings.* It contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. L-tryptophan and 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) are both precursors to serotonin; however, supplementation with 5-HTP may be preferable because, unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into other uses in the body such as niacin or protein production. 5-HTP is well absorbed by the body, and 5-HTP can be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.Mood*Sleep* Dietary ConsiderationsGluten Free Suggested UseTake 1-2 capsules three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Amino Acid Supplements Products
Amino acids are essential building blocks of tissues and proteins and also act as intermediates in metabolism. For this reason, getting enough essential amino acids through your daily diet and/or supplements is very important so that your body can grow and repair itself properly.
Vita Living offers essential amino acids supplements, which prevent the breakdown of muscle tissues and also increase the release of human growth hormone. These are effective in abdominal fat loss, retention of muscle mass, and improving exercise performance Other than providing physical fitness, amino acid supplements control mood swings, improve concentration level, and have a positive impact on various physiological phenomena.
Amino acids help the body develop and maintain healthy tissues. In addition, your nervous system also needs a good supply of amino acids to function properly. A lack of the amino acid known as tryptophan can cause lowered production of serotonin, which can lead to sleep and mood disorders. Additionally, amino acids are very important in creating enzymes for the support of biochemical reactions and hormones that help regulate metabolism. More research on the value of amino acid supplements is being conducted every day, and it is becoming more and more clear that individual amino acids and specially formulated combinations may be very valuable in healing some types of illnesses and conditions. For example, glutamine may help people who wish to curb cravings for sugar or alcohol. Phenylalanine has been shown to be helpful in easing chronic pain.
Whenever you exercise, you break down some tissues, and your body needs amino acids to repair them. That's why many athletes supplement amino acids with protein drinks and supplements. The amino acids in protein drinks are absorbed quickly into the body and are available for use. Foods that are rich in protein are also rich in amino acids; however, these are not as bio-available as those found in supplements and protein drinks. To make the most of amino acids found in foods, you must be sure to chew thoroughly so that your stomach will be well supplied with hydrochloric acid and enzymes to break down your food efficiently and extract amino acids effectively. If you are considering supplementing your diet with amino acids, consult your health care professional and turn to Vita Living for high quality, dependable supplements.
