This might also be interesting for some of us. I have recenlty obtained some of this from Symbiotics.
The advertising says it is a concentrated milk protein which the french have researched for 10 years and have found it to be as effective for anxiety and stress as xanax and valium and more effective than st johns wort and kava kava.
Apparently it also reduces cortisol levels!
I make no claims for it as I havent tried it yet
{cowardice im sure}.But I personally doubt that anything is as effective as xanax for anxiety and the other natural products I have tried have been useless, or in the case of kava -awful, hence the cowardicebest wishes

In reply to Tryptozen/pnt200, posted by glenn on August 8, 2002, at 14:31:25
Thanks for the info. Is this product related to TRYPTophan, the amino acid? That's still banned in the US (though a related subsitute product is available, don't remember name, has digit "5" in the name). Tryptophan causes serotonin increase in the brain, but isn't really a practical AD because, even though it passes the blood/brain barrier, the prescence of OTHER amino acids in the bloodstream greatly reduces the amount that gets into one's brain (sort of a competition effect). You have to time your eating of common foods VERY carefully. Please let us know what it does for you. Do they tell you to take it on an empty stomach? Also, I'm curious to know, do the instructions perhaps reflect that you should take it distant, timewise, from ingestion of protein? That's the way you have to take tryptophan to get any effect. That's rather inconvienient.
This is the end of the thread.
