Re: REAL tryptophan and the late afternoon "creepies" - cured myself

Do you know the whole story about L-Tryptophan? I was told that this chemical was pretty much made a scapegoat for some irresponsible practices in the amino industry. back when it went down, there were a few different companies who made it, and one of them screwed up royally and neglected to perform one HUGE part of the chemical process which resulted in a poisonous batch being made which killed some people.. :-0

But from what I was told, it wasn't really the deaths that resulted in it being pulled.. people die from supplements occassionally unfortunately.. It was because the feds could not TRACK the exact batch from where it came!

Thereafter tryptophan was banned and every one else had to strictly record exact batches, processing info, etc.

Anyway, there is zero risk nowadays because everything is different and everyone must abide by much stricter rules. Plus, the really good tryptophan I have found comes from pharmacies in europe anyway which follow even_stricter rules and regulations that that of the US states I am told..

Anyway, this is what I have been told and have researched about what went down. If anyone sees it differently or wants to correct any errors, feel free.

Peace Light,
