This is very sketchy, but I remember reading somewhere that taking tryptophan supplements will not help increase serotonin production because the tryptophan molecules are too big to go thru the brain barrier - it takes a long time for them to get their turn to get through at least. This article said that tryptophan from natural sources is better because of the way it is metabolized. I may not have my facts straight, so don't quote me, but look into it, anyone who wants to take a tryptophan supplement!
