L-Tryptophan - A Must For Mental Health

Why Is Tryptophan "Legal" Now -
What Legislation Has Changed ?



Nothing Changed:

  • It was never "illegal" by prescription.
    .
  • It's just that no one realized it.


Why Was It Taken Off The Market In 1989 ?

  • One manufacturer changed the process by which they made l-tryptophan.
    .
  • They started using untested genetic engineering which began to produce highly toxic contaminants.
    .
  • In addition they became careless and began to "cut corners" in the purification process, equating to allowing only half as much filtering as was usual.
    .
  • So not only was the tryptophan toxic, it contained more of the toxins and possibly other impurities due to inadequate filtering.
    .
  • This manufacturer was a major supplier of l-tryptophan and the toxin was in most every bottle in every health food store in the U.S.


Why Is It Okay Now ?

  • Despite the terrible effect of the toxin, properly produced l-tryptophan does not produce the toxin, has always been safe and effective !!
    .
  • People have never stopped using pure l-tryptophan, even during the recall, in the U.S., Canada, European, and other countries.
    .
  • Hospitals have never stopped using it in formulas for premature babies because it is an essential nutrient and the formulas would be incomplete and harmful without it.
    .
  • No one has been harmed from "uncontaminated" l-tryptophan, ever, as far as I know.
