Enteric coated vegan capsules help deliver 5-HTP to the small intestine. This protects the small intestine from stomach acid destruction. We then add Alpha-Galactosidase enzyme to aid digestion of Griffonia bean.
Though many companies and researchers are finding ways to naturally attack depression and obesity, one natural solution has emerged to become one of the most exciting options for both problems: Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African seed from a plant commonly used as food and medicine.
Within the body, 5-HTP changes to serotonin, one of the most important natural transmitters in the brain. Essentially, when we are low on serotonin, we experience feelings of depression and cravings. So, if you can influence the body's use of serotonin, you can influence the body's mood and appetite.
The idea that serotonin might affect our appetite is less than a quarter of a century old, but in that short time, a solid theory has emerged from numerous research projects dealing with serotonin: When the brain, particularly the area known as the satiety center, has more serotonin available, our feelings of satiety, the feeling of being full increase. We end up eating less. Much of the most interesting research, therefore, has been to help the body use serotonin better and to keep more of it in between the brains nerve cells in order to increase our feelings of fullness.
Though the human studies linking 5-HTP and the control of obesity showed little evidence of 5-HTP being connected with a change in mood, significant research seems to show that 5-HTP may also help combat depression for some people.
