First, welcome to babble.
Second, I don't place much faith in this Zenbev stuff. It's not a great source of tryptophan, and it's overpriced. Ground pumpkin seeds and "high-glycemic index carbohydrate". Ummm, you mean like sugar? If you eat any complete protein and follow it with sweets, you'll get something like the same effect. Or, you could buy some L-tryptophan.
