Review: this product is AMAZING-I have purchase different teas and sleep tablets to help me fall asleep and stay asleep well one night the family was over and because of the laughing and playing and recalling old memories I did not take anything and because it was late pass 10 pm I could not drink my tea so the only thing left was the Tryptophan and wow I slept all night and I did not get up until 7 and I felt so good that I was able to get on with my usual activity -I recommend these pills for a good night sleep with few pills
Review: I was looking for something that would help calm my natural anxiety and help me relax before bed time. My doctor has recommended that I go to bed earlier, and it was a struggle at first to get myself to relax enough to be able to fall asleep early. L-Tryptophan is fabulous. I take one capsule to take the edge off earlier in the evening, and then one about a half hour or so before I want to actually go to sleep. It does its job! It does not, however, stop me from waking up in the middle of the night. I typically wake up anywhere from one to four or five times a night. Perhaps at a higher dosage it would, but I am nervous about taking too much and "snowing myself" for the following day. As far as I can tell it doesn't make me groggy at all in the morning which is great. I would recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with anxiety and/or needs help falling asleep. It is far safer than a prescription sleep medication. I have been on products like Ambien and trazodone in the past, and these had the effect of making me feel tired all day afterwards, as well as giving me unbelievable brain fog. Stick to natural solutions if you can! Other tips: use a red light in your environment before bed time; do deep breathing/meditation before bed; stop watching tv/computer about a half hour or earlier before bed etc. So many times we tell ourselves "oh there is no way that would work" or "I don't have time for that," but honestly, rest is so important - make time for yourself. Your body will thank you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this product and the L -Tryptophan that was removed from store shelves years ago?**
A: I was diagnosed with EMS in 1989.  I was one of the lucky ones and fully recovered. There was no cure. The “treatment” was discontinued use of L-tryptophan, steroids and 2 yrs of PT for me. Someone said EMS was treated with L-tryptophan?  Ridiculous.  We were being told by physicians to double up our dosages BEFORE they knew that was the root cause. I was sent to every specialist because every system in the body was impacted. 
Big pharma may have upped their game on regulating their manufacturing standards. But Supplements like L-Tryptophan do not fall under big pharmaceutical. They are not regulated with the same standards. Yes, do your HW. And no, this was not part of some crazy Prozac conspiracy plan.

**Q: What's the difference with 5-HTP?**
A: 5-HTP is converted in the body from L-Trytophan (also, can be made from the seeds of a particular African plant). It can have more wide-ranging side-effects (beyond brain/mental issues), so be careful with it when taking directly. When taken with other herbs, effects can amplify, so be careful. Always check with your medical doctor before taking 5-HTP. 5-HTP gets converted to serotonin by the liver. 5-HTP is not sold over-the-counter in all countries of the world. L-Trytophan, as a naturally occurring amino acid,  is commonly viewed as the safer alternative.

**Q: How big are the capsules?  I bought the other brand on amazon and they are too big.I have a problem with my esophougus and it got stuck and made be sick for a day. Thanks**
A: I have trouble swallowing pills, but there's a positive with this when it comes to ANY amino acids: They are best taken by opening the capsule into 1-2 oz of water and swishing in your mouth before swallowing. It allows them to absorb better AND work faster.

**Q: is the tryptophane from China??**
A: According to a message I got back from NOW:"The tryptophan is produced by fermentation of non-GMO corn in China; then is granulated, encapsulated, and bottled in the USA."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***E on 21 June 2023*

I had no idea I might be low on some amino acids, nor that supplementing could be so helpful. My brother recommended them for help sleeping and mood support, and they’ve delivered! Both my mood and sleep have improved so much. I feel balanced in a way I maybe never have. I decided to take these in the evening and use l-tyrosine in the daytime. The combination has been fabulous! I take about 500ml of each. Sometimes I take 1000 mg of the l-tryptophan and gosh I sleep soooo well. I wouldn’t say these are wholly sleep inducing, but they do help me sleep, fall asleep faster, and feel well rested when I wake — something I’ve never really experienced. They don’t make me groggy, and I wake up so much less cranky! For the first week I could literally feel the relaxation in my whole being. That has worn off a bit, but I think I just got used to feeling good and relaxed so it’s not such a stark contrast anymore. I’ve suffered with depression, lethargy, and general malaise for most of my life. I wouldn’t say these are an antidepressant, per se, but adding them with the l-tyrosine has improved my mood a TON! I think I was very low on these amino acids and just didn’t know it. I’m mostly vegetarian, but even when I do eat meat, I don’t eat much; I’ve never eaten seafood and recently stopped eating eggs, so I’m sure I wasn’t getting enough amino acids. Plus, food is just low nutrition these days and we all should think about ensuring we get what our body needs to maintain a good state of mind and energy. I genuinely believe these could help others. If you struggle with sleep and low mood, I’d certainly give these a shot. Maybe even try l-tyrosine in the day to see what works for you. I think it’s important to take them on an empty stomach so make sure to do that or else the effects may not be very apparent, as they compete with what you’re taking in from your meals.
