> Anyone notice any benefits of tryptophan over 5 htp. I ve taken 5 htp didnt really do anything for me, but ive heard that tryptophan is an alternative. Does anyone know?
If 5-HTP didn't do much, then tryptophan isn't likely to do much, IMHO. There is a major dosage difference, too. Typical 5-HTP caps are 50 mg, whereas I was using Tryptan (prescription tryptophan) at 2,000 mg. I think I get more response from the smaller dose of 5-HTP. Your baody may vary.
