A member asked:

Is it harmful to take l-tryptophan on a daily basis? it helps a lot with my insomnia / falling asleep, but i am not sure about side effects.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure: Generally I would say no but L-tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin which is a powerful hormone, There is little data on taking this long-term and often it may create a grogginess. Try to use lowest dose possible recommended and see why you may need it.
