Turkey Tryptophan

[hi]

lol I though of this a few years back. You know the chemical "tryptophan" in turkey that makes you tired?? I wonder if it could be extracted for an opiate type effect??? it would prolly be a more potent narcotic than anything ever. artyman:
maybe an a/b extraction would work

But L-isomer of trytophan is already commercially available as an supplement, there is no need to extract it from anywhere.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and precursor to serotonin. In your body the tryptophan will be converted to 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) before serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), so 5-HTP is a step closer to serotonin anyways. I have read that tryptophan is more effective in some people as 5-HTP may cause intestinal distress. Interestingly enough tryptophan doesn't cross the blood brain barrier as well as 5-HTP does and being an essential amino acid tryptophan is used by your body for other things such as vitamin B3 synthesis.
You're not going to get any significant psychoactive effects by ingesting 5-HTP alone and high doses may carry unpleasant side effects. Ideally you would want a regimen of tryptophan, 5-HTP, niacin and melatonin to promote feelings of well-being but I doubt you could call this a 'high'. People have suggested that taking 5-HTP before smoking cannabis makes the high more euphoric and there are a few experience reports - http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.c ... 1=-1&Str=- detailing this. This seems sound enough to me and I would bet that such a regimen could also enhance the effects of MDMA and hallucinogens. It seems to me your brain would roll harder and trip better if it had a sufficient supply of what it needs to function in the first place.

I dont know if you whant 5-htp or 5-ht.Couse drugs from indole family are made from serotonin(5-ht).If you whant to do some chemistry Alex Shoulgin buys 5-ht in Japan and then transform it to indole psychodelic drug.Try on his site find source from where his pure serotonin comes.Good luck.
