I wasn't sure . Whe I looked at iherbm all that came up was 5HTP.
http://www.iherb.com/tryptophan.htmlI thought The US may possibly have clamped down on it due to the tryptophan myalgias scare. You have to do a google on this one.
This is why a lot of docs are cautious over tryptophan , as they are not sure what is happening I think..and this was stuff for HUMAN consumption too...so you can never be completely certain.

agree with Larry on this..if the question is a choice between 5HTP and tryptophan..which is what the thread was on... (either of which I've had any personal experience with), the safer one,IMO, from what is currently known..and this is always changing, appears to be tryptophan
JanPS it wouldn't be something I would be taking unless I thought I showed a real need for it (either of them)
Think hard on this one <Grin>..
