Tryptophan

Well it seems L-tryptophan has been back on the US OTC market for about a year.

Is anyone currently having any success with it? If so could you please comment.

Thanks...Peace...Saturn.

It's been hit or miss for me. I bought the powder and take 500mg at a shot. It is supposed to be better to take it with a carb so it is better absorbed. I've seen several recommendations to mix it with juice. Your body also needs niacin and possibly B6-P5P to process tryptophan.

I've taken it a few times and felt terrific. Lately right after taking it I feel a little spacey.
