I use the NOW brand
tryptophan. 500mg at night is PLENTY for me. In fact I can't use it every day.
I get too tired.
About the D3...I forgot to answer that.
New studies come out on that everyday. The new upper safe limit for healthy people is now at 10,000 IU daily.
4000IU is what is typically done to raise lowered levels daily.
I feel pretty safe at 2000IU. Next blood work, in about 2mos, I will ask for a level. I don't feel comfortable suggesting more than 2000IU D3 daily unless you have a level drawn. And I don't take any in the summer, when I tan up and am outdoors alot. I am using the gelcaps from NOW that are 1000IU each. I used to use a dry tablet, but I think the gelcaps have better bioavailability.
The data is changing on D3 as I type this... all new, and continuing so.
