Re: 5HTP and other questions

[Guest guest]

Hello Eileen, here is where I shop on line

http://www.iherb.com/tryptophan.html

looks like 5-HTP comes mosty in 50 or 100 - you might want to check

out the complexes they may have less mg. in them.

I have done tons of reading on 5-HTP in the last month- I am giving

my son some orally and son through the skin. Tring to do about 16

to 20 mg 4 times a day for my 8 year old 70 lb I think a little

less more often is the way to go. I also think through the skin is

a much more gradual way to apply the 5 HTP - I cup my hand put my 5

HTP in the palm add some essential fatty acid ( either sunflower

oil of flaxseed oil) give it a little stir with my finger and apply

to the back of the neck and spine... Mom has been much happier

too....this feels a little gritty- that is OK

Other notes: the Doctors Best brand is very refined and a white

powder which I am able to put in my sons water he takes to school

with no questions asked. My 2 Cents Ann
