Jackie...Re: 5-HTP, need suggestions on whether start off with 33, 50mg, capsule

[Guest guest]

Hi Jackie,

I'm glad you mentioned Vita Cost. Wow, that's a great price! I

order other things off of them every so often too. Didn't think

about them for this. Thanks.

The Vitamin Research Products (www.vrp.com) sells their 5-HTP for

about a dollar more and I noticed their 50mg capsules include 75 mg

of Magnesium and Malic Acid. Not sure what Malic Acid is....will

have to look that one up (I hope my dd doesn't react to it as she's

sensitive to so many things, skin, sleep, and behavior-wise).
