How should tryptophan be used as a sleep aid?



How should tryptophan be used as a sleep aid?

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! :)
I would do more homework on it. There has been studies showing an increase in strokes amongst users of tryptophan.
eat some turkey-it contains this amino acid-which induces sleep to due molecular structure
I agree with Biomike. You just can't go wrong with comsuming the natural source of these chemicals.

Try adding the following foods:
milk, tuna fish, soybeans, turkey, eggs, almonds, cabbage, kidney or lima beans, oats, pistachios, poppy seed, pumpkin seed, spinach, and wheat. Evening primrose seed contains the most tryptophan of a food source.
Been there.
it is better to use 5htp, but if u like, u can use the amino acid
use it at night, one or so hour before going to bed
if u decide to take 5htp, then 50mg is the dose to take
Bananas contain tryptophan.....so eat a banana before bedtime.
