Help to maintain that 'Happy Feeling'!

This unique combination has been specifically designed to incorporate two of the most effective natural herbs for providing relief from depression whilst generally promoting a feeling of happiness.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid extract that has been found to stimulate natural serotonin production, the hormone which regulates mood, promoting higher levels of this ‘feel-good’ chemical. The higher the serotonin levels in the blood, the happier you feel, which can subsequently have a beneficial effect on sleep, mood, anxiety, aggression, appetite as well as helping to treat symptoms of anxiety induced conditions such as obsessive complusive disorders.

For centuries, herbalists have used St. John’s Wort to treat burns, wounds and ulcers, as well as anxiety related conditions including mental disorders and nerve pain. More recently it has been confirmed that St. John’s Wort can also be used to treat specific types of depression including Seasonal Affective Disorder, which can be triggered by a lack of sunlight and/or vitamin D deficiency throughout the winter months. In addition, research has found that the herb can provide noticeable benefits in preventing mood swings associated with PMS.

St. John's Wort (6:1 extract) 33.4mg equivalent to 200mg of whole herb, Griffonia Seed 12.5mg (99% 5HTP), Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Silicon Dioxide.

This supplement has made such a difference to my life. This combination of st johns wort and 5htp is really effective. I have noticed such a difference. Within 2 weeks i felt much more positive and not so down in the dumps. I was initially a bit sceptical about herbal supplements. I didn't really think they could be as effective as prescribed medication. I was proved wrong! Definately give it a try, you will be so surprised. delivery arrived in 5 days, which is also good considering they must cross the channel!! Freda, 62, Bourne
