L-Tryptophan powder may be purchased (no prescription required) from Beyond-a-century.com for $15.00 per 100 grams. An absolute BARGAIN when one considers such an amount would cost several hundred dollars in Europe (at present).....provided one could get the special dispensation to obtain such a quantity. L-Tryptophan is a splendid adjunct for
persons encountering sleep challenges. The original "hullabaloo" over L-Tryptophan was caused by a single Japanese supplier who shipped a toxically-contaminated batch to the U.S......the results of which proved disastrous for over 50 people (mostly aged individuals). The FDA, in one of their typical responses, attempted to criminalize L-Tryptophan as a toxin and possible carcinogen....and was able to eliminate it from all trade channels for two or three years. After the public display died down and the FDA's red face had time to bleach, L-Tryptophan has, quietly, resumed its rightful place as a valued health constituent in human health.
I have used it as an aid for insomnia, for several years....with excellent result.
One comment about melatonin. We have researched it quite extensively.....primarily, between 1999 and 2004....and found it quite effective, and benign. Most persons (from among our volunteer population) who experienced disappointing results....were found to have systemic
predispositions which required larger amounts (beyond 10 milligrams daily) to achieve satisfactory results. Some individuals, from among our experimental population, used over 50 mg
daily.....for extended time periods....with no compromises whatsoever. The only detectable side-effect presenting, was drowsiness during the early morning hours, immediately after arising
from their night's sleep.
Best Regards, Brooks.

Many nuts are high in tryptophan, and the government can't outlaw all
of them (although they may try). Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are
also good sources. They should all be effective for those that get
relief from tryptophan. A good alternative since the government
outlawed tryptophan due to its effective competition with big pharm's
sleeping pills.
