What is 5-HTP and It’s Legal Status 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a natural amino acid and dietary supplement derived from the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia . It is used to boost serotonin levels in the body, which can influence mood, sleep, appetite, and pain perception. 5-HTP is also known by its full name, 5-Hydroxytryptophan or by “oxitriptan.” It is naturally occurring, an amino acid and a chemical precursor. It is most importantly, however, used for its creation of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for mood and relaxation. More serotonin, typically means a more relaxed mood. 5-HTP is one of the most effective sedation ingredients in a lot of xanax-like supplements for that exact reason. 5-HTP is also legal in the United States, and sold over the counter (no prescription and not controlled).

Natural compounds in turmeric, grapes and apples starve prostate cancer cells

-
Image
  • A recent study found that ursolic acid (from apple peels), curcumin (from turmeric), and resveratrol (from grapes and berries) may be some of the most powerful natural compounds for slowing prostate cancer growth. They work by blocking cancer cells from using glutamine, a nutrient tumors rely on to survive and spread. • On their own, these compounds showed moderate effects, but when ursolic acid was combined with either curcumin or resveratrol, the results became much more impressive — shrinking tumors without the toxic side effects commonly linked to chemotherapy or radiation. • Prostate cancer is still the second most common cancer among men in the U.S., and this research highlights the growing potential of plant-based approaches as safer alternatives to conventional treatments that often damage healthy cells along with cancerous ones. • For decades, natural medicine has struggled to receive the same attention and funding as pharmaceutical drugs. Since the early days of moder...

What causes high triglycerides and how to prevent them

Triglycerides: Why Are They Important? Triglycerides are an important measure of heart health. Here’s why triglycerides matter and what to do if your levels are too high. If you’ve been monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol, there’s something else you may need to keep track of: your triglycerides. Having high triglyceride levels in the blood can increase the risk of heart disease. But the same lifestyle choices that promote overall health can also help lower triglycerides. What Are Triglycerides? Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When you eat, your body converts calories it doesn’t need right away into triglycerides. These are stored in fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. If you regularly consume more calories than you burn—especially from carbohydrate‑rich foods (sugars and refined flours)—you may develop high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia). What Is Considered Normal? A simple blood test can r...

Aloe Vera for ulcer

  Everyone experiences gastric problems, whether major or minor, at some point in life. If you do not take certain precautions, such seemingly commonplace problems may lead to ulcer. Before, consumption of spicy foods and stress used to be the subject of blame for the open wounds that develop inside the digestive linings. However today, it now known that one perhaps even more common cause of peptic ulcer is bacterial infection, which can be treated within a couple of weeks. While modern medicine helps, there are many natural remedies for stomach ulcers and one is aloe vera.

Anise

-
Image
  Pimpinella anisum Anise is native to the eastern Mediterranean areas as well as western Asia and North Africa, where it still grows wild as a wayside weed. Because it is so shortlived, it often appears in spring and again in late summer, drawing bees and butterflies to it in droves with its sweet liquorice fragrance. Remarkably, anise has been cultivated in Egypt for over 4 000 years. Pharaonic texts show that even then it was used as a digestive herb, diuretic   and to help ease toothache. The Greeks used it too; Dioscorides wrote in the first century that aniseed ‘warms, dries and dissolves, facilitates breathing, relieves pain, provokes urine and eases thirst’. Modern medical science has proved that these ancient uses of this marvellous herb were indeed correct. Cultivation Anise is an attractive, shortlived annual growing up to 50 cm in height with pretty, feathery flowers typical of the Umbelliferae, often mistakenly called lace flowers. It is a rewarding plant to grow ...

An apple a day...

  It is hardly possible to take up any newspaper or magazine now a days without happening on advertisements of patent medicines whose chief recommendation is that they "contain phosphorus."  They are generally very expensive, but the reader is assured that they are worth ten times the price asked on account of their wonderful properties as nerve and brain foods. The proprietors of these concoctions seemingly flourish like green bay trees and spend many thousands of pounds per annum in advertising. From which it may be deduced that sufferers from nervous exhaustion and brain fag number millions. And surely only a sufferer from brain fag would suffer himself to be led blindly into wasting his money, and still further injuring his health, by buying and swallowing drugs about whose properties and effects he knows absolutely nothing. How much simpler, cheaper, and more enjoyable to eat apples! The apple contains a larger percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable...
