Nutricost L-Tryptophan 500Mg, 120 Capsules

Good product with good price

I take 3 of these during my luteal phase and it's been helping with sleep and moods!!! I’ve tried so many things! This works for me.

One of my earliest memories as a child, I wasn't even talking because I remember babbling to my parents, that's how young I was. My crib was in their room, they were asleep and I was wide awake, and it happened frequently. That's how long I've had problems sleeping. Next I was moved into a big bed and during my preschool years I remember being frozen with fear because I believed there might be something under my bed and being awake for what seemed, hours to a small child. One winter I was sick and spent numerous days and nights on the couch and my past time at night was counting how many times the heating stove kicked on and watching the flames in the little window in the front. Some nights I counted to ten or twelve. Things did not improve as a teen or into adulthood. I've tried teas, and everything advertised on TV that was guaranteed to make me sleep. According to my sleep tracker, most nights I was awake a good part of the night, I slept lightly, and my sleep scores were in the lower 60's. I was to the point that I had decided that sleep must be overrated because I never seemed to get much. The first night I used one of these little pills, my sleep score was a 74, and I had extended periods of deep sleep. The second night I slept 8 hours and 15 minutes, straight through! While I still sometimes wake up at night, I am far more likely to go back to sleep, I'm getting deep sleep when REM occurs, something that seldom happened before, and even if I'm awake for a while, I feel more rested. Even when I am awake a couple of hours, I still seem to get more actual rest. You need to drink a glass of milk or eat some form of dairy with this, and take magnesium. Since milk is constipating, I take one Phillips Milk of Magnesium PILL, which a doctor once told me was an excellent source of magnesium. These pills cost around twelve cents each and the Phillips is also inexpensive. This is a very natural product and I prefer natural over drugs any day. I highly recommend it to insomniacs like me, everywhere!

夕食後のグルタミン、VBで寝つけない事が増えたのでトリプトファンをとっています。 よく眠れます。

Value is good. Easy to swallow. Take 2 per night to boost serotonin levels. This is essential for brain function. Safe for everyone. Low serotonin levels are due to lack of gut flora or friendly bacteria. Boost your probiotics and eat non sugary yoghurt, Greek yoghurt, and probiotic pills to repopulate gut bacteria. You need healthy gut flora so you can digest your food, not get heartburn or yeast overgrowth. Gut bacteria produces 80% of serotonin in your body. When serotonin levels are low, you will crave sugar and starch, which will make you fat and give you high blood sugar levels. This in turn will not only give you a fat belly but metabolic disease which means heart disease, diabetes, cancers, etc. Keep blood sugar levels LOW!!! Your body extracts serotonin from chocolate, sugar, starches, but also protein. Boosting with L-Tryptophan will directly replace the serotonin which you need, and reduce cravings for sugars and starches. Make sure you get enough protein too - from meat, eggs, tofu, and different sources. Do not take 5-HTP! Your body will make that from L-Tryptophan directly. And no, there is not enough L-Tryptophan in turkey or ham or spinach to fill your body's need even if you eat a mountain of those foods. Take the supplements for good brain health! Lack of this can lead to depression and other deficiencies. This is a good and safe product. All those folks who say they get all their nutrition from food don't know what they are talking about - especially doctors who have zero knowledge of nutrition and supplements. I've done a lot of research. This is good stuff. If you are chronically depressed take 2 tablets per dose upto 3 x day. Best at night - just 2 capsules for good restful sleep.

I've been looking at a product called 'moon brew' they listed this supplement for one to stop you mind from racing at night. Dosage says 1. I found that the first few weeks of taking this vitamin, that it did slow my racing thoughts and I've been able to get back to sleep. But, I feel I have hit a plateau and have increased the dose to 2 and it has silenced my mind! With said increase, I'm sleeping better and I've also noticed a case of vertigo. This could be hormonal based but the correlation between the time I increased it and the dizziness, I can't help but feel this vitamin is causing it. Something to pay attention to.
