Any body know what amounts to take of pure powder to get the sleep effect it is supposed to offer? The vet that sold it to me couldn't answer the Q because I guess that it can't be bought for human consumption. Is it illegal to posses? Crash IP: Logged |

Try three grams on an empty stomach. Maybe work you're way up to five from there. I am addicted to the stuff. Makes me sleep like a log. Puc IP: Logged |

It's not illegal to possess, but it is banned by the FDA as a nutritional supplement. Back in 1990 there was a bacterial outbreak that caused the death of 27-35 people (depending on the source the information comes from). Even though in 1992 it was shown that natural tryptophan was NOT the cause of the outbreak, it was found that a genetically engineered version of tryptophan did cause the problems. Nevertheless, the FDA still has it on its banned list. About 500 mg of the amino acid will help produce natural melatonin to induce sleepiness. Your result may vary. IP: Logged |

Thanks for the feedback. I purchased 50 grams of it to help me sleep. I understand it's great for that. I have used everything legal or not. Any suggestions on what to mix the powder with to make it palatable? I got it from http://www.biochemicals.com for $39.00 for 50 grams. Strictly for vet use. lol Crash IP: Logged |
