In reply to Re: PB Big brains-) Tryptophan or 5-HTP ? F google :P, posted by bleauberry on October 28, 2007, at 16:56:49
Don;t people in Europe take cardopa when the take 5-htp as opposed to tryptophan. I remember reading this that 5-htp can convert to serotonin in your blood alot easier , thus possibly causing problems, whereas tryptophan was more likely to make it to the brain to work ( unless , of course , like blueberry said , there are vitamin deficiency, heavy metal problem, allergies, or whatever blocking the conversion) .
Anyway, I can;t site this info right now, but I did read that , so if anyone knows if its true or false , feel free to chime in : )
