Re: [enzymes]Gretchen...Re: 5-HTP, need suggestions on whether start off with 33, 50mg, capsule

[Guest guest]

Hi! I am not certain about the malic acid and we are on a pretty health

regiment of supplements and that is not one of them! LOL! I wonder if they

were looking at people with fibromyalgia...

http://tsangenterprise.com/fibromy.htm this link places mag, malic acid &

5HTP to help with that treatment.

Read more about it to make certain she won't react to it. Again, I would

start low and slow with this as well. I did start with 50 mg with my 60lb

son he got pretty agitated easily and I immediately cut the dose in 1/2 and

he was much better. Other parents who have began this expressed this as

well, and once they cut the dose back.... their child did better with it.
