5-HTP Griffonia simplicifolia is an African plant which is extracted to produce 5-HTP, the intermediate metabolite between the amino acid L-trytophan and serotonin.  "Although HTP's prime function is as a building block of serotonin, the neuro-transmitter that tends to regulate moods, appetites, and sleep patterns, it, in addition, can prevent damage to the body cause by free radicals..." Dr. Balch in The Super Antioxidants
SAMe SAMe is a supplement formed in the body by an enzymatic reaction between adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and methionine.  SAMe works closely with folic acid and vitamin B-12, and functions as a methyl donor.  This nutrient carries and donates methyl molecules necessary to facilitate the manufacture of DNA and brain neurotransmitters.  Tissue levels of SAMe are typically low in the elderly.
