Guest guest Posted October 27, 2001 Report Share Posted October 27, 2001 Does anyone have a good source for buying tryptophan? Since it was banned, it is very hard to get without a prescription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Tainted " because it was produced from a genetically engineered source of whatever (I forget) is used to obtain it. This might have been the first deaths from GE foods. One company in AZ still sells it. I posted the details yesterday. Starris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales went through the roof. Incidentally, there is a book that says that if one supplements with a combination of tryptophan, copper and folic acid....called fresh prozac...they will get the benefits without the side effects. If I ever think of the name of the book I'll let you know. There's info about tryptophan at www.biochemicals.com Starris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps with sleep, anxiety and depression. It was a $60MM seller until a company in Japan released a tainted batch that killed several people. The FDA banned tryptophan even though it was only one company's tainted product. " Coincidentally " Prozac started a major PR campaign the next day. Sales went through the roof. Now it is years later and you can still not buy this amino acid for regular public consumption. You can, however, buy this product from veterinary sources. Go figure!!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Ken, I think it may be available in Canada. Can you tell how long you've been taking tryptophan and what you feel it has done for you? /ms - Ken Woody Gettingwell Sunday, October 28, 2001 5:17 PM RE: Sources for tryptophan L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps with sleep, anxiety and depression.
