Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Has anyone ever heard of these? On another board I'm on it was recommended for depression, among other things. If anyone has any information or experience with it I'd like to hear about it. Thanks. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Neuroreplete (http://www.chknutrition.com/NeuroReplete/index.html ) appears to be proteins with a few vitamins thrown in. The 5-hydroxytyphtophan (5-HTP) is the precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin and the natural alternative to SSRIs (Prozac, Lexapro, etc.) L-tyrosine is the precursor to the family of neurotransmitter that include norepinephrine and dopamine. At least one study claims the lysine, the third protein in the product, is heavily depleted during stress. So, yes, this formula is probably pretty good for depression, but I would take the individual components separately to make sure you need them all. The SSRI family of drugs are not technically addictive, but if a user stops them cold turkey serious symptoms often result. Read The Antidepressant Solution by Dr. Glenmullen. 5-HTP isn't as strong as the synth drugs but should be taken in a similar manner. Also everyone is different with some people requiring various amounts of each of the proteins. With three different brain systems being affected, I would be wary. Try each separately over different periods of time and perhaps at lower doses. I buy 50mg capsules of 5-HTP. On one hand these are all amino acids we normally eat. On the other hand, altering brain chemistry is not something to be taken lightly. , susdys wrote: > > Has anyone ever heard of these?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 A Naturopath wanted me to take these and I did for about a month. I had to stop because they were very expensive, about $124 per month! I wasn't taking them for depression, but for a combination of complaints. I never really felt any different but then again, I only took them for a month. , susdys wrote: > > Has anyone ever heard of these?
