> I've seen articles from Europe where they scoff at how stupid we Americans are with 5HTP supplements. They claim most of the 5htp converts to serotonin before it reaches the brain. Only some of it remains for the brain. In Europe it is more common for 5htp to be given with Carbidopa to prevent peripheral conversion and to encourage brain conversion instead.

Interesting. I wonder if that would be true of tryptophan supplements as well?
