Most of us suffer from chronic anxiety to some extent because modern life is jagged, fast-paced, and divorced from the natural rhythms that tend to create a harmonious inner life. The calming cycles of farming, the instinctive satisfactions of hunting and gathering, and pure faith in religion gave our ancestors inner resources that few of us possess today. Find out more about anxiety and how it affects your health. >> Amino Acid Therapy: Soothing Your Nerves Neurotransmitters are made from amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Low neurotransmitter levels—sometimes referred to as neurotransmitter deficiency disorder—affect the transmission of messages between cells, and may bring about anxiety or depression. Find out more about neurotransmitter deficiency disorder and how increasing amino acids may help improve anxiety and depression. >> 5-HTP: Up Your Serotonin, Down With Anxiety With anxiety disorders affecting some 19.1 million U.S. adults each year (and with drug therapies causing some potentially serious side effects), finding a way to reduce anxiety—without the side effects—has become increasingly important. 5-HTP, manufactured by the body from the essential amino acid tryptophan and a precursor to serotonin, may be just the solution. Learn more about how 5-HTP can positively affect serotonin levels in the brain. >> Relax and sleep - and better manage your health! Includes 5-HTP, L-Tyrosine, and L-Theanine from Suntheanine. It’s entirely possible that mild to moderate levels of anxiety and depression may be relieved with natural substances. Deficiencies in the B-vitamins can result in depression and anxiety. Deficiencies in the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine are major causes of depression. Deficiencies in many minerals underlie anxiety, depression, ADD, headaches, dyslexia, and other neurological conditions. Deficiencies in omega-3 and omega-6 fats can lead to depression. I guarantee you that none of these mild to moderate neurological conditions results from a deficiency of Prozac®, Zoloft®, Valium®, or Paxil®!
