Question:
How should tryptophan be used as a sleep aid?
Answers:
Do your own research...
One poster claims it's dangerous, with nothing to back it up. Let me back it up for him/her...there was a BAD BATCH and in 1989 the FDA banned all sales. The problem was traced to a bad batch from a Japanese manufacturer.
I have a NATUROPATHIC doctor who has me on 5-HTP (cousin to tryptophan) it for sleep and mood leveling and it's fantastic. I take 200mg at bed. (You have to find the dose that work for you!!!) Melatonin is another option for you if you need a natural sleep aid. I won't take it forever but it's nice to know I am not killing my liver with something synthetic!
GOOD LUCK! :)
