> Tea Lady I checked out those Australian mail-order sites (thanks so much for including them by the way) and you're right the selection does look quite limited and surprisingly expensive as well. Major bummer!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have at least one decent health food store in Perth which is where I'll be beginning my Australian odyssey. I found 5-htp on the first website link you sent (I forget the name) but they said it could only be shipped to Queensland which doesn't help me much. Any idea why that is?

All states are independant as regards health, education etc. So each have their own policies. Queensland seems to be a bit more forward thinking.
I've lived in Queensland and NSW...so no idea abou WA.
But those 2 websites are the best I've found..I've ordered from both. Best prices and widest range that I know of. Some chemists have lines too, and supermarkets have begun stocking some basic supps but much the same pricewise so far and not as great a range.
Some compounding chemists have got in supps from the US for me with their orders and some will make up some for me too, and even put into capsules..but it does cost :-)
I see you are getting the picture <g>I've been thinking for a while of taurine too..or magnesium taurate...I think from o'seas (mag taurate definitely not in Oz), not sure if Mushashi have a line with taurine powder in it or not as yet.
That would be the only possibility for that one.Best wishes, Jan
