Re: Seratonin & 5-htp       01/08/10 10:08 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA The short answer is no. A typical 5-HTP supplement contains about 50 mg of l-tryptophan (5-HTP). 5-HTP is derived from tryptophan (an essential amino acid) and then converted by the body to serotonin. A 100 gram serving of turkey contains about 400 mg of tryptophan. If a serving of turkey doesn't give you D then a pure 5-HTP supplement with 1/8 the amount won't. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
