The Lidtke tryptophan 100mg chewable product has been out of stock for close to a year and it\u2019s now back, hence this blog post. This product has been a firm favorite of mine for many years and I\u2019ve used it successfully with children and adults with signs of low serotonin. If you\u2019re new to tryptophan, it\u2019s an amino acid that is a precursor or raw material for the production of your feel-good neurotransmitter called serotonin.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used this product in the past with children who are anxious, worried, raging, having problems sleeping and craving sugar and carbs. I\u2019ve also used it with \u201cpixie dust\u201d clients who do well with a small dose and prefer a chewable form of tryptophan. And I often recommend clients use it to do the initial one-off trial to figure out if low serotonin is the issue (and before moving on to a typical starting dose of 500mg tryptophan twice a day).<\/p>\n

In this blog you\u2019ll see the label of the newly formulated tryptophan 100mg chewable and some of the many advantages of tryptophan as a low-dose chewable. You\u2019ll also see some feedback on the previous formulation, a success story with a young girl and my personal experience too.<\/p>\n

The newly formulated Lidtke L-Tryptophan Chewable<\/h2>\n

Here is the new label for the Lidtke L-Tryptophan 100mg Chewable. This product has been a firm favorite of mine for many years and the formulation has shifted over the years.<\/p>\n

\"lidtke<\/p>\n

This formulation still contains 100mg tryptophan and a different sweetener – luo han guo, also known as monk fruit. It’s a zero-calorie natural sweetener that does not affect blood sugar. Monk fruit does belong to the gourd family and would need to be avoided if there are allergies to these foods (such as cucumbers, melons, zucchini etc).\u00a0 Also, some individuals do not like the aftertaste of monk fruit.<\/p>\n

It does contain flavors – maple and vanillin – which may be problematic for sensitive individuals. Acacia gum (or gum arabic) is low FODMAP and typically well tolerated, but may cause bloating for some.<\/p>\n

The chewable has not been available for about a year so this is very welcome news.<\/p>\n

Chewable tryptophan for a young girl with anxiety, rage, sleep issues and strong cravings<\/h2>\n

As I mentioned I\u2019ve been using chewable tryptophan with success for many years. I often share the success story of a young girl with anxiety, rage, sleep issues and strong cravings for candies in documentaries and summit interviews and – and how addressing low serotonin with a chewable tryptophan quickly helped:<\/p>\n

So sitting in my office with this young girl and her mom, we started to talk about the sweets and the candies and the need to give up the candies. She was fuming with me. She was sitting in a swivel chair. She turned her back on me and didn\u2019t want to talk about having to give up candy at all.<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cLook, let\u2019s not even talk about that, but would you take this chewable tryptophan here? And we\u2019ll talk about it in a second.\u201d I gave her 100 mg of the chewable tryptophan and continued discussing things with her mom.\u00a0 She had no idea what it was going to do or how it would make her feel.<\/p>\n

Within five minutes she turned her chair back, looked at me and she said, smilingly, \u201cYes, let\u2019s do it. I can give up the candy.\u201d She was smiling and she was happy.<\/p>\n

So long story short, with this young girl, we started her on [chewable] tryptophan [and it turned things around quickly].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
