Premium L-Tryptophan 500mg Supplement - Supports Positive Mood, Relaxation & Better Sleep - 120 Vegan Capsules - Ideal for Stress Relief, Anxiety Management & Natural Sleep Support

As a preface, I have had difficultly sleeping my whole life, especially after I had a baby and got used to waking up during the night. After having extreme difficulty falling back asleep after waking, my naturopathic doctor prescribed me this brand of l-tryptophan. Prior to this, I had used a powdered version that I had difficultly choking down, and it turns out, wasn't taking enough, so I had discounted tryptophan as something that would work for me. My doctor upped the dose to 2000 mg, and suggested this brand. I was pleased to see it on Amazon for about half as much as he charges in his office! I can tell you that for the past month, I have been taking between 1500 and 2000 mg per night and FINALLY have been able to sleep through the night. For me, it has been a godsend! Because this is a pharmaceutical grade product that my doctor recommends, I feel very confident taking it. I am glad I stuck with it and found a product that works for me. As a negative, I do have a bit of a rough time feeling groggy when I wake up, but it usually goes away within an hour. To be fair, I am probably still not getting enough sleep, as I have a child that wakes up multiple times per night. However, I would rather be able to fall back asleep easily at night and get enough sleep with grogginess than have insomnia and not be able to function.This was recommended by my naturopathic doctor. I really like it and my body seems to prefer this over melatonin, though I take both.One thing to note - my doctor told me if I take this I need to also supplement with L-Tyrosine in the morning, as L-Tyrptophan depletes L-Tyrosine. I've been using the Thorne brand as she suggested. One great benefit for me is L-Tyrosine helps with adrenal exhaustion and I found I really like taking this, too (but only in the morning as it supports energy, so not at bedtime).I trust my practitioner's recommendations and this product helps me sleep when Melatonin alone is not doing the trick. It feels very gentle and I actually like it more than Melatonin, for some reason.One thing to note: my naturopath suggests taking this in conjunction with L-Tyrosine (but in the morning as opposed to evening). She said L-Tryptophan can deplete the body of this amino acid, so I take two capsule of Thorne L-Tyrosine when I wake up. I think this additional product is helping me with energy levels and adrenal function, so I was glad for her suggestion.I bought the pills for a friend’s nephew that lives in another country. Sorry I cannot give you an opinion.My holistic doctor recommended this brand of L-Trypt when I could no longer get my brand. I was looking for another pharmaceutical grade product since my experience with non-pharmaceutical grades of this amino acid were not good. It helps me get to sleep by taking it 1-2 hours before bed. I typically do not wake up during the night.sleep, glorious sleep with somniphan (my naturopath's prescribed formulas) my rest is so easy nowMy Chiropractor recommended these to help me sleep naturally. He suggested to take 1 capsule per 50lbs of body weight and round down if in between. 2 capsules work great!absolutely wonderful. made a huge difference in the way I sleep. I will certainly order it again and again for sure.
