perfect for anxiety

I use now tryptofan and it helps me a lot, the best i've ever tried on the natural front.

I use "amino1500" from the brand NOW (don't know if you can get it in your country) 5 tablets a day and it does wonders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tryptofaan is mixed with other amino acids so I don't know if only tryptofaan is justy as good as this one is.

Hmm I'll have to give those a try. There are a few UK sites that stock them, this one included.

Read that in a health magazine a few months ago but never thought about trying it.

Meg what do you reckon to it.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Hi Henri,

To answer your question, tryptophan is an amino acid. There are 20 that are naturally occuring, and these are the building blocks of proteins. Like Meg said, it is found in high levels in Turkey and milk...it is thought that Tryptophan hekps regulate sleepiness, thats why Turkey dinner makes you tired, and why you should drink warm milk before bed. So you could take the supplements, or gorge on turkey and drink lots of milk! Hope this helps,
