Thanks for the info. Is this product related to TRYPTophan, the amino acid? That's still banned in the US (though a related subsitute product is available, don't remember name, has digit "5" in the name). Tryptophan causes serotonin increase in the brain, but isn't really a practical AD because, even though it passes the blood/brain barrier, the prescence of OTHER amino acids in the bloodstream greatly reduces the amount that gets into one's brain (sort of a competition effect). You have to time your eating of common foods VERY carefully. Please let us know what it does for you. Do they tell you to take it on an empty stomach? Also, I'm curious to know, do the instructions perhaps reflect that you should take it distant, timewise, from ingestion of protein? That's the way you have to take tryptophan to get any effect. That's rather inconvienient.
