Deprex is a Scientifically Advanced Cerebral
Nutraceutical Dietary Supplement designed to provide nutritional support for moderate to
severe clinical depression when under a physician's care, or possible mood imbalances,
melancholy, and/or extended periods of simple sadness and grief, or for those going
through a period of disappointment and/or rejection.
Unlike prescriptive
antidepressant medications, Deprex is a non-prescriptive, all-natural alternative,
providing the necessary dietary precursors which complement the body's ability to
potentiate the production and release of a very important naturally occurring
neurotransmitter called Serotonin, which plays an important part in mood regulation, as
well as increase Serotonin and Norepinephrine activity, while reducing Cortisol secretion,
without adverse side effects. This potentiates a natural rebalancing of brain
biochemistry, which in turn allows corrective perceptual processing of information and
affect, insulating one stimulus from another for perceptual integrity and clarity, helping
the individual to develop more constructive coping strategies, with an absence of anxiety.
What Is Depression and Why Do We
Experience It?
There are three major neurotransmitters in the brain (Serotonin, Dopamine and
Norepinephrine) which must be in the correct balance and constructive tension to affect
and allow a positive, stable self-image and optimistic mood. However, when these
neurotransmitters are in an unbalanced state with one another, mood changes are
inevitable. In general, when Serotonin levels drop, depression can quickly settle in, and
when Serotonin levels can be made to rise, a happy contented mood generally results.
Researchers have found that
Hypothalamic disturbances are also found in depression, interfering with neuroendocrine
activity. Hypothalamic disruptions can cause excessive amounts of Cortisol to be released
from the Adrenal Cortex at inappropriate times which can cause and exacerbate depression.
And, interestingly, about one-half of all depressed patients secrete excessive amounts of
Cortisol, primarily during the afternoon and evening, as opposed to that of non-depressed
people whose Cortisol activity peaks about 8:00 AM.
How Does Deprex Work?
Deprex provides the necessary dietary precursors which complement the body's ability
to effectively moderate and balance the necessary neurotransmitters within the brain,
providing an all-natural calming and soothing effect without side effects. Pure and safe
5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (5-HTP) is included in this formula, being the direct precursor to
Serotonin (5-Hydroxy-tryptamine or 5-HP). Common antidepressant drugs work artificially to
selectively enhance and mimic Serotonin activity within the brain, but unfortunately are
purported to cause a number of unwanted side-effects which can lead to serious long-term
problems. On the other hand, 5-HTP is completely safe and can naturally enhance Serotonin
levels within the body and brain without side-effects. (Good news for old L-Tryptophan
users: 5-HTP is not the amino acid L-Tryptophan, yet 5-HTP is thought to be ten times more
powerful in producing Serotonin than L-Tryptophan! 5-HTP is one important biochemical step
removed from L-Tryptophan, having an additional hydroxyl radical attached, and is only one
biochemical step away from becoming Serotonin. Please note: The CDC and the Mayo Clinic
cleared the role of L-Tryptophan in the EMS outbreak in 1992, having determined that the
real causal factor was a contaminated batch of the amino acid produced solely by Showa
Denka Corporation in Japan, and not the amino acid itself. Indeed, L-Tryptophan is still
safely being used in infant feeding formulas and parenteral IV solutions, all of which are
approved by the FDA.)
Does Deprex Work For
Bipolar Dysfunction As Well?
Yes, it does. Micro-nutritional potencies of Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Bromide
(derived from the naturally occurring alkali metal) have been found to be exceptionally
effective for Cyclothymia and Bipolar disorders, restoring clear sentient thinking and
appropriate reality testing, as well as mood stabilization for potentially explosive and
unpredictable mood swings of severe bipolar disorders/manic depressive episodes.
IMPORTANT:
Please note that because Lithium is prepared and registered as an OTC micro-nutritional in
Deprex, it will not impose a pharmacological effect on the body or brain, and is thus
without the side effects and possible dangers associated with standard preparations of
conventional pharmaceutical Lithium Salts. The Lithium Salts used in Deprex are therefore
completely safe and free from any adverse side effects.
Is Deprex Safe To Use With
Other Medications?
Attention Physicians, Psychologists and Mental Health Care Professionals: Deprex will
not interfere with any prescription drug, nor is it contraindicated with the use of any
other antidepressant medication. In fact, because of its nutritive value and
micro-nutritional counterpart, Deprex may safely be used conjointly with other
antidepressant medications if desired, actually enhancing the effectiveness of other drug
use, as it does not interfere with, or compete against, normal neurobiochemical
functioning. However, under no circumstance should this formula be recommended in lieu of
professional therapeutic and medicinal intervention.
IMPORTANT: A
therapeutic strategy involving the use of Deprex with other drugs, or as a replacement
strategy, is the sole discretion of a person's Physician or Health Professional. In all
cases of clinical depression, always seek a Physician's guidance first; intervention
without your Physician's guidance is not recommended.

Three major neurotransmitters (Serotonin,
Dopamine and Norepinephrine) in the brain must be in balance for a balanced mood. When in
an unbalanced state with each other, mood drops or depresses.
The complex of
natural "antidepressants" and nutrients in Deprex is much more powerful than one
ingredient by itself because it not only supplies the precursors to these key
mood-controlling neurotransmitters, but also the additional nutrients needed by the body
to naturally:

DEPREX is a Scientific Formulation of Natural Ingredients Including:
Hypericum Perforatum (St. John's Wort): Helps the body relax because of documented
(1) MAO inhibiting properties, as well as (2) acts as a Serotonin re-uptake inhibitor,
increasing the amounts of circulating Serotonin, and also (3) inhibits interleukin-6
(IL-6) and Cortisol, which cause anxiety and depression. St. John's Wort has demonstrated
clear antidepressant effects in a number of double blind studies, and is recognized in
Germany (Commission E) as an herbal antidepressant often prescribed by German physicians
(66 million daily prescriptions in 1994 alone).
DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA): Has demonstrated superior antidepressant effects, when
compared with a number of tricyclic antidepressants in double blind studies, by raising
phenylethylamine (PEA) levels in the brain which increases the manufacture of
Norepinephrine, and has demonstrated the ability to protect the integrity and lifespan of
Endorphins, important neuroproteins involved with mood and pain regulation.
L-Tyrosine: The amine-neurotransmitter that is the direct precursor to
Norepinephrine, working interactively with Serotonin.
L-Threonine: Low threonine levels have been noted in
chronically depressed persons at Princeton's Brain-Bio Institute, and subsequent
supplementation was found to lead some patients to control of their depression.
GABA: One of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters of the central nervous system,
helping to relax muscle tissue and better regulate Cortisol release from the Adrenal
Cortex via Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone production from the Hypothalamus, a problem
which is known to affect 50% of all depressed individuals.
Scutellaria Laterifolia (Skullcap): Helps to calm and relieve an overly sensitized
"sensorium" .
Verbena Officinalis: An ancient herb used for to relieve
continuing sadness and unhappiness.
5-HTP: The natural immediate precursor to Serotonin and Melatonin, providing
neurochemical balance during stress.
Supporting Amino Acids, Specifically Targeted Micro-Nutritionals & More:
Provides electromagnetic instructions to further help the body naturally regulate
Hypothalamic activity, balance the natural production of Serotonin and Norepinephrine and
help restore clear sentient thinking and appropriate reality testing, as well as mood
stabilization for potentially explosive and unpredictable
mood swings.
