tryptophan vs 5-HTP

Posted by saturn on July 25, 2006, at 7:28:23


Does anyone know the benefit of L-tryptophan over 5-HTP? Does 5-HTP cause heart problems? My understanding was that 5-HTP does not penetrate the brain well in order to make serotonin--is this correct?

I had tried 5-HTP and IMHO it is snake oil. I am curious if tryptophan is the same or actually has clinical studies to back it up? Could anyone give some feedback on this? Thanks...Saturn.
