PROTOCOL FOR LIFE BALANCEL-Tryptophan 500 mg - 120 Veg Capsules

As a preface, I have had difficultly sleeping my whole life, especially after I had a baby and got used to waking up during the night. After having extreme difficulty falling back asleep after waking, my naturopathic doctor prescribed me this brand of l-tryptophan. Prior to this, I had used a powdered version that I had difficultly choking down, and it turns out, wasn't taking enough, so I had discounted tryptophan as something that would work for me. My doctor upped the dose to 2000 mg, and suggested this brand. I was pleased to see it on Amazon for about half as much as he charges in his office! I can tell you that for the past month, I have been taking between 1500 and 2000 mg per night and FINALLY have been able to sleep through the night. For me, it has been a godsend! Because this is a pharmaceutical grade product that my doctor recommends, I feel very confident taking it. I am glad I stuck with it and found a product that works for me. As a negative, I do have a bit of a rough time feeling groggy when I wake up, but it usually goes away within an hour. To be fair, I am probably still not getting enough sleep, as I have a child that wakes up multiple times per night. However, I would rather be able to fall back asleep easily at night and get enough sleep with grogginess than have insomnia and not be able to function.

I bought the pills for a friend’s nephew that lives in another country. Sorry I cannot give you an opinion.

This was recommended by my naturopathic doctor. I really like it and my body seems to prefer this over melatonin, though I take both.One thing to note - my doctor told me if I take this I need to also supplement with L-Tyrosine in the morning, as L-Tyrptophan depletes L-Tyrosine. I've been using the Thorne brand as she suggested. One great benefit for me is L-Tyrosine helps with adrenal exhaustion and I found I really like taking this, too (but only in the morning as it supports energy, so not at bedtime).

I trust my practitioner's recommendations and this product helps me sleep when Melatonin alone is not doing the trick. It feels very gentle and I actually like it more than Melatonin, for some reason.One thing to note: my naturopath suggests taking this in conjunction with L-Tyrosine (but in the morning as opposed to evening). She said L-Tryptophan can deplete the body of this amino acid, so I take two capsule of Thorne L-Tyrosine when I wake up. I think this additional product is helping me with energy levels and adrenal function, so I was glad for her suggestion.

sleep, glorious sleep with somniphan (my naturopath's prescribed formulas) my rest is so easy now

My holistic doctor recommended this brand of L-Trypt when I could no longer get my brand. I was looking for another pharmaceutical grade product since my experience with non-pharmaceutical grades of this amino acid were not good. It helps me get to sleep by taking it 1-2 hours before bed. I typically do not wake up during the night.

My Chiropractor recommended these to help me sleep naturally. He suggested to take 1 capsule per 50lbs of body weight and round down if in between. 2 capsules work great!

absolutely wonderful. made a huge difference in the way I sleep. I will certainly order it again and again for sure.
