Mild Depression? Migraines?
Try Anti-Gloom

Anti-Gloom from Whitewing Labs, with 5-HTP and St. John's Wort, may be the natural answer you've been seeking.

This is the time of year when depression can set in. And all year round people are vulnerable to mild depression, migraines, and memory problems. Anti-Gloom can help.

Perhaps the most amazing quality about Anti-Gloom with 5-HTP, St. John's wort and acetyl L-carnitine is how quickly this natural formula benefits persons with mild depression, chronic headaches or migraines.

Known as dysthmia (from the Greek thym for "mood"), mild depression affects millions of persons in the United States. As a matter of fact, many of the people we know may suffer from mild depression. They may find that boosting their brain's serotonin levels with the use of this formula is beneficial to their condition.

"The use of 5-HTP to elevate serotonin levels can produce astounding results," says Michael Murray, N.D., author of 5-HTP: The Natural way to Overcome Depression, Obesity, and Insomnia (Bantam Books 1998).

"Since I first became aware of 5-HTP's benefits in the early 1990s, I have used it to treat hundreds of depressed patients."

Early clinical studies were conducted at the Osaka University Medical School. In one of the first studies, 107 patients received 5-HTP daily. Within four weeks, 74 of the 107 patients reported significant improvements in their mood. There were no significant complications or side effects. A review of subsequent studies indicates people who are mildly depressed respond quite quickly to 5-HTP therapy.

In a 1991 study, published in Psychopathology, results were observed within three to five days. In fact, 5-HTP even outperformed the medical anti-depressant fluvoxamine (Luvox) whose efficacy is on par with fluoxetine (Prozac). Patients using the medical drug required four to seven days to begin seeing results.

In a head-to-head study with the tricyclic antidepressant drug, imipramine, researchers found that the efficacy between 5-HTP and the drug was equivalent but that the natural agent had far fewer and less severe side effects.

Based on these and other studies, 5-HTP is able to aid people with mild depression to return to a more normal state.

Furthermore, 5-HTP works even better in combination with St. John's wort, an extract that in over 25 double-blind studies has been shown to be as or more effective than antidepressant drugs in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. Fortunately, the Anti-Gloom formula contains both of these natural ingredients.

Depression? Migraines? Memory Problems?
More than 45-million Americans suffer from chronic headaches, 16- to 18-million from migraines, 70 percent of who are women. Another estimated 12-million people suffer from daily headaches. It is estimated that almost 70 percent of adults in the United States take a painkiller for headache at least once a month. We now have clinically validated natural alternatives that may replace many persons' needs for medical drugs.

Besides the highly effective combination of 5-HTP and St. John's Wort, Anti-Gloom from Whitewing Labs contains another important natural ingredient, Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC). ALC was first considered a vital memory agent because of its structural similarity to acetylcholine, reports The Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. The abstract for this report further observed that experimental studies demonstrate that ALC promotes acetylcholine synthesis and release.

The studies on this vital nutrient are extremely impressive. ALC can also help to improve mental attitude. Sixty senile subjects (60-80 years old) with depression were randomized into two homogeneous groups, one of which was given ALC while the other received a placebo. After a washout phase of one week, each patient was evaluated at the beginning of the trial, prior to drug administration, and repeated during the treatment phase after 30 and 60 days. The results showed that treatment with ALC induced a significant reduction, as compared to the placebo, in the severity of depressive symptoms and also a significant improvement in the items measuring the quality of life.
