BulkSupplements L-Tryptophan Powder Essential Amino Acid Supplement For Mood And Sleep Support Gluten Free 500 Grams

Disclaimer: I'm writing this review to receive a free supplement, but the request asked that I be unbiased, and I am. I've rated the Bulk Supplements Tryptophan 5 stars because it works exceptionally well for me, so well, in fact, that my recent order was my second.I have sleep difficulties, so taking a sleep aid is often a necessity. I prefer not using habit-forming meds when I can, which is why I initially tried tryptophan. It calms my mind nicely so that I can fall asleep easily, and it usually keeps me asleep. It's not a definite; short of using the equivalent of a horse tranquilizer, nothing I've found is wholly effective for getting me through a full 8 hours. But in terms of consistency of results and reliability, tryptophan does more for me than anything else I've tried.Since I use it often, buying tryptophan in bulk is perfect since it's a huge savings over individual pills. I use a measuring spoon for my "dose" and do a "toss-and-wash"; i.e., toss what's on the spoon onto my tongue, then wash it down with water. It's easier and less messy than trying to mix the powder into something, at least for me. The only downside of this approach is that tryptophan is bitter, akin to aspirin; however, it's not so bitter that I have to mask the taste with something else. The bitter taste fades pretty quickly..If you're taking supplements regularly, I highly recommend Bulk Supplements. I'm thankful for having the bulk option. The quality of the powders has been consistently excellent.My only complaint is the packaging. It's difficult to store these bags, and if they fall over.

I know most things on these pages seem like its full of deception and products that seem fishy. I have only been taking L~TRYPTO for a few days now and i am at the moment feeling pretty calm, aswell as happy. I got this substance to help support the serotonin levels as well as melatonin production that is made from serotonin. Its a chain organic chem that moves as L~TRYPTO via converted to serotonin and when serotonin is needed.. It then turn into melatonin via other bodily chem reactions to support your sleep.Personally i spend thousands of dollars on organic supplements for the reason i am healing my CELIAC. I had a gotten to a severe case of the higher form of CELIAC known as {LEAKY GUT} back in 2013. Where i was allergic to almost everything and i have found a way to cleanse it into healing via researching on medicinal herbs and new pure grade supplements that mimic the body's natural rhythm without any pill materials or added factors like fillers.From advice i say i can't take MELATONIN right? Most CELIACS don't know that MELATONIN will make your immune system over sensitive and when you have a reaction to some allergen. Your reactions are 10 folds over. Trust me i know and having the hives is horrible with all the depression, fatigue, blistering, headaches, stomach pains, hair falling off, wrinkles, nausea, diarrhea, and moodiness.Well i found a solution and that's TRYPTOPHAN. Since this substance is just the organic starter chem. It won't bother if you got a immune system compromise or if you're suffering from anything via inflammation. The substance will provide fuel for serotonin conversion to elevate mood and conversion to MELATONIN to regulate sleep without any contradictions.So you ask have i had any positive effects with it alone. Yes i have with other forms of L~TRYPTO, but what i love about this company called BULK SUPPLEMENTS is that its pure grade in its purest that i'm hooked on. Has a very fast acting and reactive time frame with no side effects. I had recently bought SPIRULINA some time back from them and lets say within two months my hair got thicker, my skin had a change with a glow, i was sleeping way better too, i had a good balance on my mental state, and i did have to stop it due to its effect on my immune system. After i did a research on myself where i keep analytical notes. Yes spirulina does cause the immune system to get sensitive too, but because of the pure form from this company. My body was converting the nutrients and amino acids faster into healing than my inflammation could keep up. Where i healed the wrinkles on my face from all the hive breakouts i had damage from. There currently gone.My experiences and perspectives come from a lot of years of studying certain fields and i'm very ocd and analytic about everything like even the last color on my walls. I read like an addiction. I was studying my grandmas medicine book from age 5.Been an honor student in science for a long time now.I Am currently a Game Design student going for my masters in 3D digital art.I Am a former medical student of dental who had to at one point drop out of my DMD and bachelors in dental.Since i had been dealing with alot of symptoms with my CELIAC from years back with tons of depression.I'm an experienced PSYCHIC with a lot of years of study upon my abilities and the field of hypnosis.I'm even a computer repairman on the side to make some more money when i'm bored.With all my qualifications now in my later 20s.From my experience and point of view as has become profound when understanding methods of operations from practice. I plainly state this..I give this company {BULK SUPPLEMENTS} 5 STARS and an A++.I went from 3 weeks of inflammation to 3 days of inflammation. Though if i hadn't eaten the wrong thing on some occasions, but i watch out alot too. My recoveries are fast now. Even my stomach has healed to the point i am currently eating more foods. Just not wheat of course. Though i can tolerate milk finally. I have since March 29, 2013 been buying certain pure grade items from there list. I am a very happy and satisfied customer of theirs.This company has QUALITY PRODUCTS, GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT, and a very WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS to choose for health and exercise.Have a great day everyone!

I used to get L-Tryptophan capsules at the vitamin store because it helps with the quality of my sleep. I would take 4 500mg capsules a night and that got very expensive. I was so excited when I discovered I could get it in bulk! I got it here from BulkSupplements.com and I am very happy with it. The quality is excellent as with anything I have gotten from BulkSupplements.com. I get more than 4 times the L-Tryptophan for the same price as getting it in capsules and I don't get any fillers or chemicals that I really don't want. And the product works like a champ. When I use it, I get a solid deep sleep.The only downside to buying bulk powder is that it is not nearly as convenient as pills/capsules. You need to measure out each dosage. You could use measuring spoons but for me, I prefer to know exactly how much I am consuming. I already had a milligram scale that I bought for another BulkSupplements.com purchase which are only $25 here on Dropy. So I don't have to measure out my dosage each night, I spend about 20 minutes every couple weeks and measure out 2 grams dosages in mini-cupcake baking cups and lay them out in a tupperware container. Each night before I get ready for bed, I just take one of my 2 gram cups and put it an shaker blender bottle with 12oz of water. Shake it really good for about 60 seconds and slam it. It tastes a little weird but its not bad and I got used to it pretty quickly.For some, having to measure out each dosage may be a pain in the rear, but I don't mind it. Actually i think its kinda fun... but I am a geek! If you are willing to deal with that, then I highly recommend this product from BulkSupplements.com

L-Tryptophan isn't the easiest powdered supplement to work with, but it does the job of helping sleep come. I take a 1/2 teaspoon dose on nights when I don't use my actual, prescribed sleeping medication of Ambien.Hard to work with:The powder itself is like shaved wax. It floats, it does not dissolve in water, and it clumps up onto itself in weird little puffs and globs all over your cup. When I try to make a cocktail of sleeping supplements, this is the one powder that creates frustration. It's hard to get it all down, and you end up with a mess all over the interior of the drinking glass.I suppose I could dissolve this in oil, but that requires making up two beverages - one for the water-soluble powders I use , and then an oil one. That's too much work for me, and I don't want to drink oil in the first place.What I do:Some days I just add my chosen dose to the water mix, and work hard to chug it all down. It really does make a mess like that, and L-Tryptophan doesn't exactly taste good. On other days, I take the dose right from my measuring spoon, quickly following up with water. You can still taste it, but it's far less messy this way.Why I bother:This stuff helps! Taken by itself, it won't send me to sleep, but it's a crucial part of my mixture. Adding L-Tryptophan was the key to eliminating the otherwise required antihistamines from my sleep cocktail. When I take a little bit of milk with all this, the L-Tryptophan works even better (carbs helps it work), but after brushing my teeth, I generally don't want to put milk in my mouth - yes, milk has sugar in it.The best way to manage all this would go as follows:1. Mix water soluble powders in milk.2. Measure L-Tryphtophan in the dosage spoon and take it right from the spoon into your mouth.3. Drink the milk mixture, swirling it as you do to keep the other powders in suspension.4. Brush teeth and hit the bed.If you have persistent, chronic insomnia, it will take a lot of experimentation to find what works for you, and maybe more than one supplement.Note: It you're taking prescription medication, ask your doctor before starting L-Tryptophan. Some meds, like Effexor, should not be taken together. In fact, ask your doctor before taking any supplements. That's always a smart thing to do.Last note: I could avoid the mess and such by putting this powder into capsules, but seriously: I'm too lazy, and it would require buying precise measuring tools/capsules, and would make a mess, wasting product. I'm not patient enough. I could also just buy pre-made capsules, but in spite of all the bother I've listed, I prefer to have this product in a clean, pure bulk form. I like seeing what doses work well for me and experimenting with that. I like the bulk price, and the ability to have less waste/packaging in my life. I'm a complete fan of this line.

Drink this an hour before bed, an hour later, you will feel drowsy and fall asleep easily. I ate 1/2 tsp to get this effect. It doesn't taste great and taste really bad if you eat more than 1/2 tsp.
