That's great for you, Ron. I didn't know about that costly tryptophan conversion. You're post reminded me to start taking NADH again. It really helped when I was having real bad fibromyalgia fatigue. Maybe you could answer questions I have about the sublingual 'action' NADH vs. the enteric coated swallowed. I know that the sublingual will get absorbed faster and it's a larger dose, probably targeted for mongo workouts, but do the two types affect you differently in general? I have a bit of the sublingual type left and don't think I need 10mg of it, so I'd appreciate your input on dosing.
One other thing, you mentioned 5-HTP. I had no effect at all on it and in fact it made me feel more depressed, but I had very good results with l-tryptophan. Something to do with tryptophan hits a few more sites along the way before it's converted to 5-HTP. It helped mostly with the fibromyalgia muscle aches, so there's something in those first few steps that I was needing that 5-HTP wasn't doing. Always nice to chat with you.
