Vitamin & Herb Treatment for Depression.
Deprex is a homeopathic, herb and vitamin
treatment remedy for depression.
The natural antidepressant herb and vitamin ingredients in Deprex supply precursors to
mood-controlling neurotransmitters and provide nutrients needed to allow the body to naturally care for
itself. Instead of artificially mimicking serotonin activity,
Deprex naturally and effectively enhances serotonin levels within
the body and brain – without side effects.
Deprex contains St. John's Wort, the
most highly recognized herb remedy for depression, in addition to
amino acids, the herb depression remedy Skullcap, vitamin
ingredients and more. The power of the Deprex formula is in its
broad base of vitamin and herb ingredients to address an herb
remedy treatment for depression. Deprex is much more powerful than
any one ingredient by itself.

Deprex to find out why Deprex is the leading herb remedy treatment
for depression;
One herb remedy for depression is St. John’s Wort. This
herb treatment for depression has shown to be effective for
reducing the symptoms of mild to moderate depression in several
double blind studies. In Germany, this herb remedy is prescribed
by physicians - to the tune of 66 million prescriptions in 1994.
St. John’s Wort works by relaxing the body because it inhibits
MAO’s while increasing the amount of Serotonin in the body.
This herb depression treatment, St. John’s wort has been studied
in 20 clinical trials and most of the studies show that St. John’s
Wort is as effective for depression as commonly prescribed
antidepressants. The United States government is currently
sanctioning a study of St. Johns Wort by the Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The findings of this
depression herb study will be available in 2006.
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA), has been shown in double blind
studies to have a superior antidepressant effect than many
tricyclic antidepressants. This "depression vitamin" works by
raising phenylethylamine (PEA) levels in the brain increasing the
production of Norepinephrine. This "depression vitamin" also
protects and increases the lifetime of Endorphins (chemicals
involved in mood and pain regulation). DL-Phenylalanine converts
to L-tyrosine in the body. Research has been done to show the
effectiveness of this depression vitamin but further research
needs to be done to determine the best dose to take as well as the
patients that are most likely to have a positive response to
DL-Phenylalanine.
L-Threonine is an essential amino acid which can only be
obtained by eating protein in the diet or by taking a supplement.
Depressed patients and patients with epilepsy often are found to
have low levels of L-Threonine. Patients with chronic depression
were studied by Princeton’s Brain-Bio Institute. Those that took
L-Threonine vitamin supplementation showed a greater control over
their depression. In addition to L-Threonine’s antidepressant
effects, this "depression vitamin" also is essential for normal
growth, helps the fatty liver, gives relief to muscle spasms, and
is an effective treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis when
used in the first two years of the disease. It is still effective
when used later in the disease but not as effective if used in the
first two years. This "depression vitamin" is also useful in
treating multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions that
cause spastic movements. Furthermore, L-Threonine gives support to
the immune system and reduces hypersensitivity by those sensitive
to gluten.
The depression herb remedy Skullcap is great for nourishing
the nervous system. It is rich in minerals and essential for a
healthy nervous system. This herb remedy for depression is also
great for agitation, anxiety, hysteria, neurasthenia, headaches,
and fatigue. Skullcap has an antispasmodic effect so it is good
for treating the twitching and jerking of both petit and grand mal
epilepsy seizures. This herb remedy for depression is useful to
take to relieve withdrawal symptoms when going off antidepressants
and tranquillizers. This herb remedy for depression can be used to
treat arthritis as well because it has anti-inflammatory
properties. In addition, skullcap can enhance digestion, make the
liver function better and bring down a fever. Traditionally, this
herb remedy for depression was used as a treatment for snake
bites, rabies and the bites of poisonous insects. Furthermore,
skullcap was used for the relief of menstrual cramps and for those
who were overly sexual.
5-HTP is a "depression vitamin" that is the immediate
precursor to Serotonin and Melatonin. Serotonin gives a
neurochemical balance during times of stress. Serotonin is
essential to regulating mood and thinking as well as
cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. In addition,
serotonin is important in releasing hormones in the body. 5-HTP is
a great anti-depressant, reduces pain, decreases PMS symptoms,
reduces agitation and manic behavior, can help a person sleep
better, complements light therapy for depression, makes a person
feel more calm, serene, relaxed, improves the ability to
concentrate, lowers aggressive tendencies, aids in weight loss due
to a reduction in carbohydrate cravings, and reduces anxiety.
Furthermore, in patients suffering from fibromyalgia, this vitamin
remedy for depression reduces anxiety, tender points, the feeling
of pain, and makes the patient sleep better. The immediate
precursor to 5-HTP is Tryptohan.
