Recommended doses for L-Tryptophan vary considerably from the published scientific literature and from various manufacturers, sometimes ranging between as little as 50mg to as much as 500mg per day. However, as little as 200mg to 300mg per day has been shown clinically effective in increasing brain serotonin levels. If you suffer from severe depression or anxiety talk to your physician before taking L-Tryptophan as a nutritional or dietary supplement. A commonly recommended dose for L-Tryptophan is 500mg per day and it is important that you not exceed this amount without the consent and supervision of your prescribing physician.
Occasional side effects from L-Tryptophan supplementation include gastric upset, nausea, hypomania (a mild form of mania, characterized by hyperactivity and feelings of well-being), and euphoria.
CAUTION!: If you are currently taking, or within the last 90 days have taken, any anti-stress, anti-anxiety, or anti-depression medications DO NOT TAKE L-Tryptophan SUPPLEMENTATION without first talking to your prescribing physician.
