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?

In the book Optimum Sports Nutrition it says take 5-10 grams. If you didnt know, tryptophan causes your seratonin levels to rise which releases more natural growth hormone into your system. 1000mg = 1 gram. This shit works well, it will lean you the fuck out. No its not illegal , it used to be when a bad batch killed some users about 8-9 years ago. BiosChemicals sells tryptophan in pill form, each pill is 500mg.

where are you hearing that tryptophan is legal? i've been doing some research through search engines and everywhere i go they say its illegal. 5-HTP supposed to be a great alternative. is it ok to take 5-HTP and melotonin at the same time?

I used to take this when I was younger, it rocked. Then some Japanese company put some bad product on the market, killed a few people, and they illegalized it for people. I think I'll use it again. Thnx for the link.

For those of you who have tried L- Tryptophan, are there any side effects that occur when you are taking this product with the exception of the Japanese scare? Thanks

Do a search on E2's old posts...he had a great post regarding tryptophan awhile back. According to E2, tryptophan has the ability to cause a considerable spike in gh levels. I dont remember what dosages he recommended...I think it was 5-10g at night-this is just from memory though.

For everyone, tryptophan is to be taken at night on a completely empty stomach, any protein taken with tryptophan cancels the effect out. Take 5-10 grams a night on an empty stomach for 4 weeks and you will lean the fuck out(ethiopian style). This shit works. Warning it does make you tired and sluggish as hell, this is why you do not consume it during the day unless you plan to take a 3hour nap and you have an empty stomach.

damn, 5-10g will get pretty damn expensive. is 5-HTP a good enough replacement because it is tremendously cheaper, well to take 100 mg. that may not be as good as 5-10g tryptophan though. i dunno if i can afford that much tho...oh well

Capsules, the dosage is guaranteed, I have used tryptophan only once for 4 weeks with capsules, it actually made me a little too lean, I was 235 around 4% with veins in my obliques and shit, I have recommended it for many people and it does work wonders, it is expensive but it is more natural than synthetic injection and basically has no side effects except some sluggishness but many get used to it.

This is a fascinating thread.

havoc, you got some good results from the L-tryp, eh? How long would you suggest taking it? 4 weeks was good for you?

Yep.

I have also done a lot of searching on what this drug has done in the past and i didn't read anything at all about how it helps you. Havoc, I am not at all calling you a liar, but why do they not list this info, or am I just totally overlooking something. Thanks

tyguy: tryptophan is not a drug. it is an amino acid. big difference.

alright- so it's an amino acid- Is it just commonly known information that elevated seratonin levels release more growth hormone?

Being an elite all natural athlete @ 5'10 240 6% bf and 23 years old, I have been doing research into elevating my physique to new levels naturally, in my research I have found many different and interesting things, 2 years ago I stumbled upon a book called Optimum Sports Nutrition by Michael Colgan, I recommend you buy it and treat it sort of like a Bible if you will, it contains a vast variety of info. on tryptophan and a few other aminos that help release GH, this book will help you become a better athlete and better person overall, some of his advice is priceless. For example when your done with tryptophan you can move on to plenty of other aminos cycled properly of course that will also take your physique to a new height. So go buy the book, to answer some of the previous questions no you dont have to come off a fat burner or thermo but I dont recommend that garbage anyway and 4 weeks for me was sufficient because of my Genetics but I know people who have been on for months, so everyone is a little different in that respect. Hope this helps, any other questions let me know.

This book mentions nothing about Ganja , but marijuana does contain 19 essential elements and hemp oil does contain one of the best ratios of poly and mono unsat fats, the book I mentioned is really informative and will help. Marijuana for me is a personal and spiritual use, one of my 3 minors in college was religion and every religion I studied had mentioned marijuana and the positive benefits gained from it. There is also over 300 medicinal uses for it. I could go on and on but theres not enough time right now.

nate, I don't think it would inhibit gains from a mass cycle. If anything, you'll gain more lean mass while shedding flab.

I'm rounding up some nickels and dimes for an order, but I'm confused about where to go. This Indian place seems cheap, but I don't want to die if they're fucking around in the lab. Has anyone ordered from that Indian pharmaceuticals place?

Do you need to be on any special diet or just the lower carb and fat kind? What about cardio? Do you have trouble getting up in the morning, how much sleep do you need, and are you still tired during the day? Isn't this the same stuff that makes you tired from eating a lot of turkey at Thanksgiving? (Hehe)

Biochemicals sells a 5-HTP tryptophan somethin', is that L-tryptophan? I'm wondering because that's what they sell in the stores around here, 5-HTP i forgot the whole name but trypophan is part of the name.

I didnt't get the 5 htp thing.. I got the actual bottles of "L-Tryptophan". I bought two bottles for $140. They each have 90grams in them... capsule form. I'm surprised I managed to get them becuase I thought that L-tryptophan was illegal.

so what's the deal with the 5-HTP the hydrotryptophan or whatever it's called. Is it the same shit?

5-htp is hydroxytryptophan. 1 step closer to serotonin, but also has a more narrow range of effects than tryptophan.

they are diff substances.
