Presented by Better Nutrition Magazine, the Second Annual "Best Of Supplements"
Awards Will Be Featured in the Publication`s November 2009 Issue
CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Better Nutrition Magazine names Natrol® 5-HTP as award winner of the "Brain and
Wellness" category in the publication`s second annual "Best Of Supplements"
awards. Last year, Natrol® Carb Intercept® won the "Metabolism and Weight Loss"
category. Better Nutrition is the country`s leading independent health food
store magazine, with a print edition and an online version at
www.BetterNutrition.com. Natrol, Inc. is a premier marketer, manufacturer, and
distributor of nationally branded nutritional products.
A natural product, Natrol® 5-HTP helps support brain function and wellness. As a
drug-free, plant-derived amino acid source, 5-HTP naturally increases the body`s
level of serotonin -- a chemical messenger affecting emotions, behavior,
appetite, thought, and sleep -- to help promote relaxation, calm, and greater
appetite control, and to help support a more positive mood.† For optimal effect,
5-HTP can be taken daily with meals (not to exceed 200mg daily). Natrol® 5-HTP
is sold in the following varieties and quantities:
* Natrol® 5-HTP Time Release 200mg ($26.99 for 30 tablets);
* Natrol® 5-HTP Time Release 100mg ($20.59 for 45 tablets, also sold by some
retailers as Natrol® 5-HTP Mood Enhancer);
* Natrol® 5-HTP 100mg ($19.49 for 30 capsules);
* Natrol® 5-HTP 50mg ($15.65 for 30 capsules, or $26.99 for 60 capsules); and,
* Natrol® Mood Positive 5-HTP ($17.29 for 30 tablets).†
Better Nutrition`s "Best Of Supplements" awards help take the guesswork out of
shopping for supplements. To determine these awards, the magazine conducts
extensive interviews with a panel of experts, including naturopaths, medical
doctors, and supplement industry specialists. These experts also complete a
comprehensive supplement survey and provide feedback on various supplements.
"The `Best Of Supplements` awards is one of my favorite issues of the year, as
it gives me the opportunity to highlight exceptional supplements that can
contribute to positive changes in a person`s health and well-being," says Better
Nutrition editor in chief Nicole Brechka. She continues, "Natrol® 5-HTP is an
ideal and affordable way to naturally help enhance your mood."†
The winning supplements -- chosen by a roster of experts, consumers, and Better
Nutrition editors -- will be featured in the magazine`s November `09 issue,
recognizing over 70 outstanding products in more than 30 categories, including
Natrol® 5-HTP, winner of the "Brain and Wellness" category.
"We are proud that Better Nutrition has named Natrol® 5-HTP for its second
annual Best Of Supplements award in the `Brain and Wellness` category," says Dr.
Michael T. Yatcilla, Natrol`s Research and Development VP. He continues, "5-HTP
is an excellent supplement to help support overall mental well-being, which can
be especially important now when people may be affected by external stressors
like the economy and the approaching holidays."†
