l-tryptophan sides?

[meat19]

any sides to consider with this product?

does it induce stage 3 or 4 sleep?
how much is needed per sleep?

 

[Silent Method]

#1 - Yes, it makes you sleepy.

#2 - Yes, it helps one to reach deep sleep.

#3 - None is needed. (If your asking how much it takes (in supplemental form) to make you sleepy, not much.)

Can you combine it with GHB (i.e. less GHB for the same sleep)???

And how similar is it to 5-HTP

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

5-HTP is the hydroxylated version of l-tryptophan. It crosses the blood-brain barrier much more efficiently and is a step closer to serotonin than l-tryptophan. You would get pretty much the same effect from a much lower dosage of 5-HTP unless l-tryptophan goes through some other enzymatic conversion to another neurotransmitter other than just serotonin also.

E2 once had an awesome post on l-trytophan. He recommended taking 5-10 grams right before bed. He just mixed it with water and drank it. He reported increased fat loss and increased muscle because of the increased HGH? I think that was his point, that the extra serotonin increases HGH. I could be wrong because I haven't read it over 2 years, and in that case that I am wrong flame away, but I think I am right.

so 5htp l-tryptophan is better than l-tryptophan?

I'm still curious about mixing the 5-HTP with GHB. Could I take less G if taken with the 5-HTP. I take the G for sleep and the dosages are slowly creeping up.
