5-HTP Power™ (nd_mh001) 60 capsules

Mood • Weight Loss • Sleep

Sleep better, eat less and feel great! Feel the difference that better sleep, consistent moods and a decreased appetite can make with 5-HTP Power. 5-HTP (hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to serotonin. Studies show that increasing serotonin levels in the brain can result in positive benefits for weight loss, mood anxiety and sleep.

5-HTP Power is blended with three adaptogenic herbs–Siberian ginseng, ashwaganda and suma–that work synergistically with 5-HTP to help the body adjust to changes. It also contains vitamin B6 and zinc, which promote its conversion into serotonin.*

Each capsule of 5-HTP Power contains 35 mg of 5-HTP.
Take 1 capsule three times daily with a meal.
As a sleep aid, take 1-3 capsules of 5-HTP Power with an evening meal.
We recommend a maximum of 3 capsules of 5-HTP Power per day. Because the body rapidly excretes excess 5-HTP, taking 35 mg at each meal is generally more effective than taking 1-2 capsules per day of higher potency 5-HTP.

5-HTP (precursor to serotonin), balances levels responsible for mood, hunger pangs, and restless sleep. Adaptogenic herbs enhance beneficial effects.*

Notice: Contact your health care provider if taking any prescription drug. Pregnant or nursing women should seek the advice of a health-care practitioner before using this supplement. Do not use this product for more than three months without taking a 2-week rest.

...ever find yourself wishing you could stop the world to get off?

Stress Pack [Nervous]. Do you ever find yourself wishing you could stop the world to get off? Feeling that way occasionally is quite normal, but if such feelings are a constant companion, you may be under undue stress. When our lifestyles aren't conducive to good physical health, molehills can easily become mountains. If stress continues over a long period of time, certain essential nutrients can become depleted. That's why it's important to do all you can to fuel your body with proper nutrition in times of demanding physical stress. When exposed to physical stress, the body uses more of certain nutrients like the B-complex family and vitamin C. That's why Stress Pack contains a supplement rich in both of these nutrients, Nutri-Calm¨. Herbs and vitamins are a synergistic duo. Stress Pack combines herbs and vitamins to give your body the best. Stress Pack is conveniently designed to maximize nutrition when the body needs it most.

Each packet contains:

• STR-J™ (two capsules)

GABA Plus (ND_mh013) 60 capsules

Calms your Brain. . . Certain neurotransmitters (natural chemicals) in the brain help squelch excess brain activity, promoting a state of greater relaxation and peace. The principal neurotransmitter of this type GABA (gama-aminobutyric acid), is the key ingredient in NSP's new GABA Plus.

INGREDIENTS

GABA Plus contains GABA, glutamine, passion flower herbs, taurine and spirulina.

  • Glutamine (an amino acid) is converted into glutamic acid (a precursor of GABA) in the brain. Glutamic acid serves as fuel for the brain and calms the central nervous system.
  • Passion flower contains many phytonutrients that appear to exhibit a sedative effect on the nervous system. This herb has long been used to help balance this system and relieve stress.
  • Taurine (an amino acid) has a protective effect on the brain, aids in the development of nerve tissue and helps stabilize cellular membranes.
  • Spirulina algae is rich in a variety of nutrients, including protein, antioxidant caratenoids, trace minerals and vitamin B12. It builds the blood, increases brain function, boosts immunity and supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

BENEFITS

GABA affects the central nervous system by reducing the number of neurons firing in the brain, thus calming the number of neurons firing in the brain, thus calming brain activity. This can benefit people with overstimulated nervous systems who find it difficult to relax or who have trouble focusing on one task. Other ingredients in GABA Plus add to its effectiveness in relaxing the nervous system.*
