> I take 220mg of tryptophan. The reason I like tryptophan over 5-htp is that tryptophan is broken down to a variety of active metabolites which can promote neurogenesis (i.e. n-acetyl-serotonin, indoles). Some of this takes place in the gut.
>It gets decarboxylated to the trace amine tryptamine. I don't know if that is active on the trace amine receptors and/or releases monoamines, but it *would* be intuitive if tryptamine *were* to serotonin and MDMA what phenylethylamine (PEA) is to dopamine and (meth)amphetamine.
