Leading Edge Remedies Spell Magic For Your Health

Nutraceuticals are substances from natural sources that can have a positive effect upon one's health.

What can boost your serotonin levels, suppress your appetite, relax your digestive muscles and give you a good night sleep? If you answered "a new wonder drug," think again.

Pharmaceutical anti-depressants and relaxants have long lists of negative side effects and most are made from synthetic substances. For example, the tranquilizer, Diazepam, can cause dry mouth, constipation, irregular menstrual cycles, blurred vision, inability to fall asleep and mild drowsiness. On the other hand, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a natural anti-depressant which also suppresses appetite and helps you get a good night's sleep.

5-HTP, which comes from the tiny griffonia simplicifolia, bean of Western African origin, is a nutraceutical. It is not an herb, mineral or vitamin. Neither are other leading edge remedies, such as amino acids and phytochemicals, although they may contain vitamins or minerals. They are called "Leading Edge Remedies" because their health benefits are only now being discovered in the western world and Japan.

Supplementation For Health and Wellness

5-HTP is an amino acid. It has no difficulty passing through the blood-brain barrier and converting into the neurotransmitter, serotonin. 5-HTP helps increase the time span for serotonin to remain active in your brain.

The expanding field of leading edge remedies includes infopeptides, which are powerful pain relievers; lactoferrin, a natural antibiotic found in breast milk; and maitake mushroom extract, an immune system booster which shrinks tumors and reduces the AIDS virus destruction on T-cells.

Natural Remedies and Supplements states that nutraceuticals "in the proper dosage and concentration, may stimulate and support the body's healing process. It is their wide range of effectiveness and safety which offers benefits for a wide variety of health conditions. Properly used, they can eliminate the need to use prescribed drugs and most importantly, the potential negative side effects prescription drugs can cause."

It is recommended that you buy nutraceuticals in a standardized extract from a reputable supplier. Standardized extract means the product's active ingredient has a guaranteed minimum potency. For a 5% standardized 500 mg capsule of 5-HTP, you would get 25 mg of the active ingredient, hydroxytryptophan.

Leading edge remedies are a safe and gentle way to promote inner harmony of the body's natural operating systems so that your body can function better to improve your overall health.
