Does anyone get any benefits from L-tryptophan?
I tried 5 htp approx 300 mg per day but didnt really do anything for me- only made me tired. I've heard l-tryptophan is an alternative for those who do not benefit from 5htp. Anyone have any experiences with this?

I haven't been able to test L-tryptophan with a good brand so haven't got an opinion on L-tryptophan. I use 5-htp Natures Way that is a good brand.

I was also wondering what you are taking it for? Because alternatively if it is for sleep you could try melitonin. When I tried melitonin it made me drowsy through the day. Although for some it might be ok.

God bless
