Mood and Weight: An Unbalanced Relationship There is a documented correlation between depression, anxiety, and weight gain. Stress triggers the release of the hormone cortisol, which is secreted in response to adrenaline—all part of the fight-or-flight response. Increased cortisol levels can lead to decreased sleep, increased cravings for carbohydrates and sugar, and—in some individuals—increased abdominal fat. Nature's Antidepressant 5-HTP is an amino acid derived from the seeds of the Griffonia plant. For years, 5-HTP has been a popular holistic alternative to SSRIs and other pharmaceutical antidepressants that also work on serotonin levels. In addition to supporting mood, 5-HTP has also been found to have benefit in regulating sleep and in the management of chronic pain, such as migraine and fibromyalgia. Results from small clinical trials suggest that 5-HTP may promote weight loss by suppressing appetite and reducing caloric intake.* Benefits of NatureWise 5-HTP NatureWise 5-HTP can be beneficial in supporting mental wellness as a part of a holistic weight management approach.* Our formula is designed to give an added boost to your weight-loss program by providing the energy needed for motivation, and natural mood ingredients to maintain mood and reduce stress.* Our formula also includes pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6, to help catalyze 5-HTP's conversion to serotonin.

All NatureWise products are tested by specialized ISO 17025 third party laboratories for purity and potency, as well as physical, chemical, and microbial contamination, guaranteeing the highest standards for quality and safety.
