In reply to Re: Is tryptophan prohibited for sale in the U.S.?, posted by Larry Hoover on December 5, 2003, at 17:22:00
Lar,
the Rep. from Vitamin Shoppe sent me this (she still maintains that it's prohibited). I know I see it all the time as one of multiple ingredients in a product, like protein that weightlifters would use...but I haven't seen it at a health food store as a single product lately. Anyway, she sent me this:Please look at the link below obtained from the official web site of the
FDA. In the very bottom of the email in the Guidance section, it specifies
that the sale of L-Tryptophane is prohibited in the U.S.Thank You,
Kathy
