Special Note: If you are one of the many individuals who loves carbohydrates (sugars and starches), you may find that glutamine greatly curbs these cravings. We suggest 500mg dose of glutamine initially, but the amount can be safely increased if your carbohydrate cravings return later in the day. Many people find that taking one capsule, three times a day, before meals is extremely helpful in controlling carbohydrate cravings. Please ask us if you have any questions.

L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (or 5-HTP for short) has been called the natural alternative to Prozac and similar medications. 5-HTP has been reported to help the symptoms of what has recently come to be called "serotonin deficiency syndrome". Popular medications such as Prozac®, Zoloft® and Paxil® are being used to treat these symptoms. However, these medications may have side effects in some individuals, such as reduction of sex drive and a drugged-like feeling. 5-HTP is notably different; 5-HTP is a natural substance synthesized in the body from tryptophan (an amino acid found in food). But, 5-HTP taken as a supplement can go directly to the brain for rapid conversion to seratonin.
