relamed® 5-HTP capsules, 30 ST

For the dietary treatment of anxiety, depressive moods and sleep disorders.

relamed® contains highly concentrated 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) from the plant extract of Griffonia simplicifolia (African black bean) and additionally high doses of vitamin B6 in its biologically active form. 5-Hydroxytryptophan is the natural precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is formed in the body from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. The vitamin B6-dependent enzyme 5-HTP decarboxylase controls the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. While only small amounts of L-tryptophan ingested with food can be used to synthesise serotonin, 5-HTP is almost completely converted into serotonin. A controlled intake of 5-HTP can have a positive effect on nerve metabolism, mood and sleep quality.

relamed® was specially developed for the dietary treatment of anxiety, depressive moods and sleep disorders. Central nervous disorders such as depression, anxiety and sleep disorders are often associated with an inadequate supply of brain-active micronutrients and an imbalance in the neurotransmitter balance. Patients with depressive moods and anxiety disorders in particular often have low serotonin levels in their blood serum. The neurotransmitter serotonin is primarily involved in the regulation of mood, pain perception, stress tolerance and appetite control. As a precursor of the sleep hormone melatonin, it is also of great importance for the sleep-wake rhythm.

Directions

• Take 1 capsule once a day between meals with sufficient liquid. 1 capsule a day about 30 minutes before going to bed in case of sleep disorders.
• Regular use is recommended: An intake cycle should average 12 weeks and be followed by a 3- to 5-week intake-free interval.
• Side effects, precautions: relamed® is generally well tolerated. In a few cases, gastrointestinal complaints, dizziness, headaches and drowsiness may occur. The effect of 5-HTP is intensified by alcohol and can impair the ability to react. Vitamin B6 can lead to a loss of effectiveness of L-dopa. The simultaneous intake of antidepressants is subject to a strict risk-benefit analysis. Do not use in the case of severe liver and kidney dysfunction, oncological diseases (e.g. carcinoid syndrome), during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in the case of known hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients. Seek professional advice if you are unsure!
