Lidtke Technologies L-Tryptophan Capsules, 120 Count

This supplement has worked wonders for me! For quite some time now I had not been feeling like myself physically. It felt like I was going through life wearing a thin white veil, everything I viewed looked flat and one dimensional, I felt like I was in a fog. I would wake up after an 8 hour sleep and shortly after I started to feel fatigued, low mental energy and anxious. I did not know how I could change this feeling and wondered if I was compounding the problem by taking in more foods that kept this cycle going. I was! I was consuming more cups of coffee and started to drink alcohol daily, I learned that these things went against me. I started researching my symptoms and came across serotonin deficiency and the effects-the list went on. I didn't realize how one thing could negatively impact the way I feel. This is what I found in my research: The way L-Tryptophan works is that once in the body it converts to serotonin, which is crucial to all brain activity. What this has done for me is a world of difference.What has been the difference so far? I notice that my food cravings have reduced, I no longer have sinus pain when the weather gets cloudy, No longer have eye fatigue, have energy to workout frequently, lost several pounds since I have started the product. no longer in a fog or feel that mental and physical fatigue I had been struggling with for several years now. What I realize today, is that my serotonin deficiency was severe and what worked for me was one capsule 3x's a day after every meal for 2 weeks. I understand that this could effect everyone differently-my mother tried it and told my she had nightmares and stopped taking it, she is already taking anti-anxiety meds and that could have caused her reaction. Today, I just need 1 capsule a day after breakfast and limited my coffee to 2 cups daily and I eliminated alcohol consumption for now, which has been worth it! This product has helped my mood and concentration. I recommend it!

I have taken this for many years. I find it an effective tool in regulating my mood.

One thing you gotta know about L-Tryptophan is this: Buy high quality or DON'T buy at all! Seriously. Just go read some of the reviews on the cheap Source Naturals brand as just one example. Guys, these are REAL incidents that have happened to REAL people. Be very, very cautious what brand you pick. Your health matters. If you go the cheap route you just might be one of the unlucky ones with a horror story and end up having to pay big bucks in medical bills to treat the symptoms caused from it. Obviously, if that happens, in the end you will not be saving money by buying low quality. Better safe then sorry.I take 2 of these before going to bed and they help me to get sleepy. I prefer not to take them during the day because of that. They are a bit hard to swallow because they aren't as heavy as other capsules I've had, and tend to float on top of the water in your mouth instead of sinking.

I struggle every now and then with mild anxiety before bed and have a hard time falling asleep. L-Tryptophan is amazing for this. I take 1 or 2 depending on how stressful that particular day was and it helps tremendously. There's no strange feeling. You don't realize it's even working. You just calm down and are able to sleep. It doesn't make me "sleepy" it just calms me down so that I can fall asleep. I've read a lot of stuff online about L-Tryptophan helping to curb appetite. I can't comment on that as I don't take enough of it for it to work in that way, for me at least.. also, Lidke is a great brand. I researched like CRAZY before I started using their products a few years back. I now order through amazon and not their site since I have Prime.

Overall, I think this is helping my moods and sleep, but not quite as much as I’d hoped based on others’ experiences. My one complaint? Fix the lid already. It’s not an inexpensive product and every single bottle I buy has a defective, shattered lid.

I previously had a bad reaction to Source Natural's tryptophan (muscle pain). I was apprehensive to try another brand of tryptophan, but was told that this brand was the highest quality tryptophan on the market by a neuro nutrient specialist who is trained in using amino acids for mood and lifestyle improvement. I'm currently working on trying to find my ideal dosage for how I'm feeling, but this supplement definitely works. Take it either 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after; food will interfere with the tryptophan's absorption and conversion into serotonin.

I take 3 upon waking in middle of night and allows me to fall back to sleep.

it didn't do anything for me. I do know that i made fresh home-made turkey broth and boy did it knock me out. so i expected the same thing with this and nothing happened. i purchase cause of great review from a program i signed up for,which highly recommended it
