L-Tryptophan


Posted by awake on February 15, 2006 at 15:36:46:


Can anyone tell me if they have tried L-Tryptophan and whether or not it worked ? I have tried 5 HTP, and it didn't do much. I have read about the EMS outbreak that occured in 1989, possibly as a result of a bad batch of L-Tryptophan from Japan. As I understand the FDA regs on this now, it is legal in small doses (100 mg or less), but as a practical matter, it is very hard to find in retail stores. If any of you have any experience with this supplement, I sure would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks,
Scott
