> Wow -- that's unbelievable! I have only one question before I place my order: do you think this stuff is safe for *human* consumption? Of course it's possible contamination that I'm worried about.
I can't promise you that it is, but I believe that it is. The process that led to contamination a decade? ago has been discontinued. The vast majority of the tryptophan being produced is for livestock feed, but I have no reason to believe that the standards for human consumption are substantially different. The ultra-pure product is probably pharmaceutical grade.
